SUMMARY:Neuroscience\, Trauma\, and the Power of Love: Working with the Body\, Intersubjectivity\, and the Soul
DESCRIPTION:Limited Spots Available! \nRegister now to save your spot!\nNeuroscience\, Trauma\, and the Power of Love: Working with the Body\, Intersubjectivity\, and the Soul\nPresented by: Trip Quillman\, ASCW\nWhen: Friday\, October 16th – Saturday\, October 17th\, 2026 | 9:00 AM – 4:30 PM\, Pacific Time\nWhere: Live\, In-Person workshop at Shoreline Center\nContinuing Education Credit Hours (NBCC and NASW-WA Approved): 12 CEs | $395.00 ***see below for payment options\nContinuing Education Workshop Description:\nIn these challenging times\, the demands on therapists and caregivers are especially intense. As we learn to connect with\, listen to\, and help each other bear the anxiety of what is unfolding in our world\, we can become more effective in supporting the awakening and healing emerging within individuals\, relationships\, and communities. \nAs healing professionals\, how can we cultivate deeper ways of being together—to “lend our nervous systems” to our clients in ways that regulate and nourish both client and therapist? How can we more precisely attune to the intelligence and wisdom available within ourselves and our relationships? \nThe central premise of this continuing education workshop is that\, at any moment\, we are either attuning or judging ourselves\, our clients\, or the world around us. The workshop will focus on developing our capacity to shift from judgment toward deeper presence and attunement. \nDrawing on contemporary neuroscience and mystical traditions\, we will explore what might be called “energy literacy”—practices and tools for deepening our relationship with ourselves and our clients. We will develop skills to ground\, open\, and tune our own nervous systems in ways that support regulation\, safety\, and therapeutic connection. \nPresence is the capacity to access a deep internal receptivity from which intuition\, compassion\, and creativity can emerge. Attunement is the ability to focus that presence\, allowing us to receive information about ourselves and others and deepen the therapeutic process. These skills are central to many contemplative and mystical traditions and are increasingly compatible with perspectives from interpersonal neuroscience. The metaphor of the therapist as a radio receiver or tuner illustrates this approach to embodied\, rather than purely cognitive\, empathy. \nFrom a somatic\, intersubjective\, right-brain perspective\, barriers to connection often arise from the sensations\, emotions\, and thoughts we repeatedly turn away from. When therapists learn to host rather than repress\, dissociate from\, or identify with what arises in the body\, heart\, and mind\, we can help create a context of safety in which previously contracted or defended experience can soften and transform. \nAs these barriers soften\, our identification with judgment and separateness may also loosen. We may gain greater access to what different traditions have called the witness\, essence\, Jung’s Capital “S” Self\, Being\, Consciousness\, or the Quaker’s “still small voice within.” From this intersubjective space\, insight\, compassion\, and wisdom can emerge in ways that are surprising and deeply healing for both client and therapist. \nApproximately 25% of the workshop will be didactic and 75% experiential. Participants will learn and practice skills of presence and attunement with their own and one another’s physical\, emotional\, and mental experience through paired exercises\, small groups\, and\, for those who choose\, full-group practices. \nThe workshop is limited to 20 participants. \nContinuing Education Workshop Objectives:\n\nParticipants will gain a cognitive and experiential understanding of the differences between judging and attuning to what arises re: their own and their patients’ thoughts\, emotions\, and sensations and deepen their capacities to “host” (vs. identify with) the intrapsychic and interpersonal field.\nParticipants will begin to develop a clear\, concrete\, experiential understanding of the concepts of presence and attunement and of their foundational importance in healing.\nParticipants will learn specific practices to ground and attune their own nervous systems and to deepen and refine their capacities to attune to their patients.\nParticipants will learn about the theory and treatment implications of Porges’ Polyvagal theory and its resonance with multiple mystical perspectives.\nParticipants will learn concrete\, powerful tools to help regulate their own and their patients’ autonomic nervous systems\, especially when working with hyper- or hypo-arousal.\nParticipants will have an opportunity to discuss and consider the clinical implications of differentiating personality from essence\, ego from soul\, heart from brain\, and the importance of love re: their own and their patients’ healing processes.\n\n***Payment Options:\nCascadia Training values quality continuing education that is accessible\, inclusive\, and without barriers to all. We never want the cost of our workshops to be a barrier to attending one of our workshops\, particularly our multi-session workshops. \nWe offer several options to make our workshops cost-inclusive: payment plans\, a limited number of full and partial scholarships\, discounts for students\, and discounts for early professionals.
