Seeing the trauma process and resolution from such an angle, body-centered and specific in focusing on the processes that evolve in the offered space rather than being provoked by the practitioner directly, it adds much to the scope of available means of work. Meeting the tissue. Neutrality of the presence of the therapist, and non-directive facilitation. Subtle and global changes that follow such presence. Inviting the internal wisdom of the client. Applying the “less is more” vision seems incredibly valuable in this type of work. Seeing, and testing, how powerful such approach can be, is a gift. Rich, dense curriculum, thoughtful workshop design. 

I am now feeling tired, and grateful. Thanks Nina Chernick, for being our guide and facilitator. Thanks to all of the TAs, your presence was grounding. Thanks to dear colleagues for the cooperative attitude, for holding the space. Some insights received still need time to process, which is a great outcome in itself.
