A Live Webinar for Therapists and Healing Professionals
Grounding is a core technique in trauma recovery—but what happens when it doesn't work? Or worse, when it makes things feel less safe?
This webinar explores the moments when grounding strategies—like “feel your feet” or “come into your body”—backfire, especially in clients with complex trauma, dissociation, or early attachment wounds.
Through a trauma-informed lens, we'll unpack:
Why traditional grounding can activate threat responses
The clinical assumptions we carry about presence and regulation
What to offer when the body isn’t a safe place to return to
You'll leave with concrete alternatives, deeper attunement skills, and a renewed trust in the therapeutic relationship—even when grounding fails.
Whether you’re a therapist, supervisor, or healing practitioner, this session will help you navigate the nervous system’s no with nuance and care.
