To round-up the recent series on my blog Aquapoetics about the potential applications of aquatic bodywork in trauma healing, I am delighted to include with kind permission an article 'Trauma Healing and Aquatic Bodywork' by aquatic bodyworkers and teachers Diane Tegtmeier and Inika Spence. Further exciting news is that they will be presenting their findings at the United States Association for Body Psychotherapy Conference 'Unraveling trauma: Body, Mind and Science' (CA, 22 Oct. 2010). Go here to read the article and more.

During May, I listened in to an excellent six-part teleseminar series from The National Institute for the Clinical Application of Behavioral Medicine (NICABM) on New Treatments for Trauma: Setting Free the Trauma-Locked Brain. I recommend signing up for the next cycle. It's free or reasonable cost if you desire CEU.

The theme throughout was the significance of the body in trauma treatments and effects. The series had good follow-up inspiring all listeners to say what they would do with what they'd learned. As part of my call to action, I turned my notes into something to share with my fellow aquatic bodywork colleagues.

This group is just what I have been looking for. I work at the local center for those that have been sexually assaulted or are currently or in the past victims of domestic violence. I have worked the hotline for the past 2 years. I have also started my Master's in Mental Health Counseling. I started this because I found that as I worked on muscle groups I would hear the same story. However, each time I worked on the muscle group the story would get shorter and shorter depending on the trauma. I found it very interesting and detirmined it was out of my scope of practice and started my Master's. I hope to be a somatic psychotherapist. I look forward to reading some of the stories and reviewing some of the educational courses that everyone has taken as help in my own profession.
