**This Session**
Empowerment from Body-to-Mind with Matthew Sanford
Empowering trauma survivors is a crucial aspect of their recovery. This is accomplished by emphasizing agency, choice, and control – all initially, psychologically based strategies.
Join award-winning author and embodiment expert Matthew Sanford for this one-hour session as he offers complementary techniques that facilitate embodiment from body-to-mind. We will be guided through experiential practices that emphasize sensations of empowerment in the body before mental choices.
