Bring the body into Healing
Conventional, top-down trauma therapies often neglect the impact of trauma on the body. An embodied, bottom-up approach makes healing possible for the whole person.
Join thousands of trauma-informed professionals around the world who successfully treat trauma by centering body awareness in the healing process.
Our global community of trainers, facilitators, and participants come from
more than 40 countries, territories, and First Nations and represent all genders and ethnicities.
In 2023, more than 30,000 people around the world engaged with our care models by way of individual or group sessions, trainings, or research studies.
Center for Trauma and Embodiment established the original framework for trauma informed programming used by many other organizations today.

Our Mission
We recognize that complex trauma is both interpersonal and systemic and that quality care models require attention to both dynamics.
In the course of developing our programs, we commit to a continuous process of learning through actively engaging in relationships with survivors of complex trauma, practitioners, and community leaders from wide-ranging perspectives in order to inform our work and our growth as an organization.
