GCC Somatic & EMDR Workshop
Rooted & Regulated: Somatic and EMDR-Inspired Tools for the Trauma Clinician
June 16, 2026 | 7–8:30 PM EST | Registration Required
Overview
Join Gesher Community Care for an experiential workshop with Briana Damavandi, LCSW, focused on somatic and EMDR-inspired tools for trauma clinicians navigating chronic stress, emotional overwhelm, compassion fatigue, and vicarious trauma.
This 90-minute training will explore practical, body-based techniques clinicians can begin applying immediately in session, while also addressing the often-overlooked role of faith, spirituality, and nervous system regulation in healing.
Drawing from somatic practices, EMDR-inspired resourcing techniques, and the often-overlooked role of faith and spirituality as protective resources, participants will leave with skills they can apply immediately in session. The training also addresses the real and often unspoken impact of vicarious trauma and compassion fatigue on the clinician.
Trauma lives in the body, not just the mind.
