TAO of trauma

10/14/2023

“Tao of Trauma” is a therapeutic model created by my teacher, Alaine Duncan. You can learn more about this modality here. ToT is an East meets West approach to nervous system regulation, which blends western trauma physiology with Asian medicine to help people enjoy greater regulation and resilience. This work beautifully blends technical and scientific neurophysiology concepts with the vibrational and nature-based Five Element Theory. We may chose to incorporate somatic practices into your protocol to encourage greater flow. This work involves touch and/or guided body awareness to bring the nervous system into a healthy window of tolerance. Our work is to use attention, intention and touch to help restore balance to those states.
Modern research is showing a strong link between disturbances in our bodies and nervous system dysregulation (a flight/flight/freeze state). These states are often a response to response of brace or collapse after "too much, too fast, without adequate support" experiences. I employ touch and/or guided body awareness to bring the nervous system into a healthy window of tolerance. Our work is to use attention, intention and touch to help restore balance to those states.
