Somatic Therapy and Trauma Healing

Group Work

Foundational Somatic Skills Group

A 6-week online programme to learn practical nervous system regulation in community.

What This Programme Offers

Learn the foundational skills for nervous system healing in a supportive group setting.

Over 6 weeks, we’ll cover:

  • Understanding your nervous system and the window of tolerance
  • Recognising your unique patterns of activation and shutdown
  • Practical grounding and safety practices you can use daily
  • Tools for when you’re overwhelmed, anxious, or in hypervigilance
  • Tools for when you’re shut down, numb, or dissociated
  • Integrating these practices into your everyday life

This isn’t just education – it’s experiential learning. Each session includes guided somatic practices, nervous system education, and time for questions and sharing.

What’s Included

Weekly 90-minute live sessions
Every Wednesday at 6pm GMT via Google Meets. Includes somatic practices, nervous system education, and Q&A.

Guided practices
Simple, practical tools you can use daily to regulate your nervous system – no special equipment needed.

The 6-Week Journey

Week 1: Understanding Your Nervous System
Learn about the window of tolerance, hyperarousal, hypoarousal, and why your body responds the way it does.

Week 2: Awareness Phase
Begin noticing your patterns – when do you activate? When do you shut down? What are your triggers and early warning signs?

Week 3: Safety & Grounding
Learn foundational practices: grounding through your body, orienting to safety, and simple regulation tools.

Week 4: Working with Hyperarousal
Tools for anxiety, overwhelm, panic, hypervigilance, and racing thoughts.

Week 5: Working with Hypoarousal
Tools for shutdown, numbness, dissociation, brain fog, and feeling “stuck.”

Week 6: Integration
Bringing these practices into daily life. Building sustainable regulation routines.

Who This Is For

This programme is for you if:

  • You can’t afford 1:1 therapy yet but are ready to start something
  • You want foundational nervous system skills before (or alongside) deeper therapeutic work
  • You value or are open to healing in community rather than isolation
  • You’re willing to practice between sessions – this isn’t passive learning
  • You can commit to 6 weeks of showing up for yourself

This is NOT for:

  • Crisis support (please seek 1:1 therapy or crisis services)
  • Passive participation – you’ll need to practice between sessions
  • A quick fix – healing takes time and commitment
