Differentiating Trauma Modalities:
A Comprehensive Exploration of Cognitive vs. Somatic Therapies, Neuroscience, and an Introduction to ART

This new training offers a comprehensive exploration of trauma therapy modalities, highlighting the key distinctions between cognitive and somatic approaches. Attendees will gain a deeper understanding of how these distinct modalities engage different neurological processes to address trauma. Cognitive therapies, such as CBT, focus on reframing thoughts, while somatic approaches, like Somatic Experiencing, target trauma stored in the body. Through the lens of neuroscience, this session will provide participants with insights into the underlying mechanisms of these therapies and their differing impacts on trauma recovery.

Additionally, this presentation will introduce foundational concepts related to Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), including the role of memory reconsolidation and bilateral eye movements in trauma treatment. While attendees will not be trained to use these modalities, they will leave with a deeper understanding of how these techniques work to support trauma processing and healing
