Afternoon with Sharon Stanley Ph.D
Join us for an afternoon with Sharon Stanley Ph.D,
a psychotherapist with a private practice on Bainbridge Island, Washington.
Sharon will facilitate a 4 hour session on trauma, survivor's guilt and PTSD for volunteers who have recently returned from Puerto Rico and provide the group with what to look for in their own behavior and resources of managing the stress of only being able to do so much, but she will also provide attendees with ways of supporting one another. She believes that it is imperative that we have a follow-up session in a couple of months.
Location: The meeting room is Room 5 on the fourth floor (red floor). Take the elevator (*not* the escalator) to the fourth floor and then exit to the right from the elevator.
This event is sponsored by La Isla Foundation and Sharon Stanley Ph.D.
More about Sharon:
Since 2004 she has traveled throughout the United States, Canada, and Europe helping mental health professionals learn how to access the innate wisdom of the body for healing trauma. The neurological research principles and six practices of Somatic Transformation are described in her book, Relational and Body-Centered Practices for Healing Trauma: Lifting the Burdens of the Past.
After earning her PhD in 1994, she studied somatic practices for shock trauma with Dr. Peter Levine and became senior faculty of Somatic Experiencing. She also began teaching somatic psychotherapy at the University of Victoria and was invited to work with First Nations people in British Columbia who were suffering from the trauma of colonialism. Through these experiences, it became clear to her that relational-developmental trauma was at the core of vulnerability for PTSD and needed to be treated with relational body-centered empathy.
In 2004, she began studying with Dr. Allan Schore, a prolific researcher in the field of interpersonal neurobiology, whose work helped to inspire the development of Somatic Transformation. She continues to teach Somatic Transformation to small groups, helping practitioners integrate neurobiological theories and somatic practices into their personal and professional lives.
