11:00AM - 12:30PM • Embodied Psychology for Anxiety & Depression
Presenter: Laurie Trace
​
There are over 400 models of psychotherapy, many of which contradict each other, and most of which strive to 'cure' human suffering in one form or another. But what if the so-called problem isn't the symptoms themselves, but rather, the way you've been taught to relate to distressing emotions. Pioneers in the field of trauma-informed compassionate approaches to human distress propose that depression and anxiety are actually normal responses to a culture that pushes you past your limits, normalizes business, promotes competition and rewards you for betraying yourself daily. It's time for a new perspective on mental health, one that views suffering through a trauma-informed, strength-based lens, one that honours human resiliency and the innate wisdom for self-healing you have always possessed. This session will leave you hopeful, inspired and practically equipped for the peace and joy you deserve.
