The Science of Trauma & The Body
Discover the impact of trauma and how it manifests in the body, from the prefrontal cortex to the vagus nerve at this illuminating talk at the Assembly Roxy on 20th February!
About The Science of Trauma & The Body
You will gain an understanding of our body's role in psychological survival, the mediating role of our nervous systems and the role & nature of memories. We will also explore ways of healing and moderating the impact of trauma on our bodies, and how this can support our minds. We are social animals, and you will learn how together there is a path to co-regulation and collective healing. The talk also includes some incredible research on how art can impact the nervous systems of traumatised communities.
Doors open at 7pm, talk starts at 7.30pm - come down early to grab a good seat!
