An Integrate: Mind-Body Practice for Working Through Trauma session
**This Session**
This session focuses on the link between trauma and physical health issues. Findings from the landmark Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) studies reveal that exposure to one or more forms of trauma during childhood significantly increases the risk of various health conditions, including chronic pain, cardiovascular disease, chronic fatigue syndrome, and addiction, among others.
Conventional and complementary medicine often addresses these “physical” issues in isolation. However, they frequently overlook the vital role that trauma plays and its ongoing negative effects on the nervous system, which is a primary factor contributing to these health problems.
Karden’s work centers on the intersection of trauma and disease, integrating therapies from various fields to address the physical manifestations of trauma.
In this session, you will learn about the core frameworks that explain how nervous system dysregulation contributes to chronic illness. You will explore the direct connection between trauma and physical disease processes, moving beyond disconnected care models. You will discover actionable steps for yourself and your clients while gaining an empowering new perspective on health and personal agency.
