What, For Whom, Why?<\/h2>\nA Body-Oriented Integrative Approach to Healing Trauma<\/h3>\n
Every Human Being in its nature strives to live in peace, harmony, joy and a sense of fulfillment. However, we are not only living in a time of increasing uncertainties, but we also live in a time and space of heightened stress and experiences with the potential for traumatization.<\/p>\n
Some of these experiences have an immediate visible impact on the life of a person, but most often we don\u2019t become fully aware of the situation. We learn to compensate, to adjust, to increase the emotional and physical stress onto our system, so that we can function and meet the demand that life and work bring \u2013 until we feel overwhelmed, emotionally challenged, lack of concentration or healthy sleep, difficulties in relating, increasing unknown fears, even possible signs of panic attacks, burnout or depressed moments \u2013 an overall lack of deep joy, positivity and sense of fulfillment.<\/p>\n

Contemporary trauma theories describe, that a traumatic experience that has made an impact on a person\u2019s system and could not be fully processed and integrated, can often leave the system in a state of stress or shock. Neuroscience and decades of practice experience show, that with the principles of this Integrative Trauma Training of Core Evolution, you can find a place of healing.<\/p>\n
Being a pioneer for almost 50 years in the field of Humanistic, Somatic and Transpersonal Psychology, Dr. Siegmar Gerken has developed an integrative approach to work with Developmental-, Shock, Generational-, Collective- and other forms of traumas, that are held in the person\u2019s system, whether they are from past or from the present life situation.<\/p>\n
\nWe come to understand, that a trauma is not just held in the brain. <\/strong><\/em>
A trauma is an energetic, somatosensory and emotional experience affecting the entire human system.<\/strong><\/em>
\u2013 Siegmar Gerken<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\nTraumatic situations in early or later phases of life can lead to a numbing, protective withdrawal or to a distortion of reality. These conditions have a strong influence on the forming forces of the personal development and the coping mechanism of how a person lives the daily life. Traumatic experiences are then often becoming \u2018frozen patterns of history\u2019<\/em>.<\/p>\nThese patterns manifest on the emotional, somatic and cognitive level of your life and can
a) limit your capacity for harmonious self-regulation, and
b) make it difficult to stay in deep contact with yourself and allow a natural and authentic expression of your life- energy.<\/p>\n
Integrative Trauma Training<\/em> in Core Evolution gives you an expanded understanding by recognizing and describing the forces that traumatizing patterns can have in the life of a person, in terms of:
a) Influencing the state of personal harmony and happiness;
b) Recognizing triggers especially also in relationship and Intimacy, that makes it hard to stay open and loving;
c) Often then it is not easy anymore to connect with the creativity and joy in the professional expression. How a person structures the information in a traumatic event will also determine how resources can be accessed and activated, so that optimal coping strategies and healing processes can be developed accordingly.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=»Learning Modules» _builder_version=»4.27.4″ tab_font=»|||on|||||» global_colors_info=»{}»]<\/p>\n
Learning Modules<\/h2>\nMODULE 1<\/span>
September 29\u201330, 2025 | Tallinn
10:00\u201318:00 (Monday\u2013Tuesday)<\/h3>\nTrauma Experiences and their Effects on the Body, Psyche and our Fields of Life<\/strong><\/p>\nFoundations for the Comprehensive Understanding of Psychological Traumas
Theoretical models and therapeutic approaches in therapy and medicine often focus on the direct trauma or clinical criteria for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Since trauma is always processed by each individual differently, we also need to recognize the whole person in its present life situations and social structures.<\/p>\n
The teaching and practice includes:<\/strong>
\u2022 Terms and definitions in Trauma Therapy;
\u2022 Stress \u2013 Trauma \u2013 Traumatization;
\u2022 Psychophysiology of stress and trauma \u2013 important aspects of interpersonal neurobiology;
\u2022 The central nervous system and the regulation of traumatic experiences;
\u2022 Sympathetic and parasympathetic states of fight, flight and freeze \u2013 from simplicity to complexity;
\u2022 Research: The most important Fundamentals in Integrative Trauma Therapy, incorporating the neurological, biochemical and psychological aspects;
\u2022 Change is possible \u2013 brain structure, Neuroplasticity and preparing for change;
\u2022 The Practice of Mindfulness and Somatic Awareness supports the re-organization of the personal system;
\u2022 Accessing and evaluating resources and establishing healthy boundaries;
\u2022 Therapeutic presence and creating a safe space;
\u2022 Learning to anchor (Grounding) and how to prevent re-traumatization;
\u2022 Practice to safely release and integrate energies that are still held in a traumatic experience.<\/p>\nThroughout the training we will practice the Principles of Mindfulness<\/em> and safe exercises for the concept of grounding, activation and harmonizing of body and feelings with breathing and movement, developing a Body-Feeling-Thinking-Mind-Awareness as an integrative approach to Trauma Therapy.<\/p>\nMODULE 2<\/span>

10:00\u201318:00 (Monday\u2013Tuesday)<\/h3>\nExpanding the Therapeutic Realm <\/strong>
The Social Brain<\/strong><\/p>\nEvery person is part of a society, family, profession, institution, religion, traditions, culture, etc. Therefore, we also have to recognize the complexities of the social dimensions of trauma and its impact on a person\u2019s life.<\/p>\n
A traumatized, over-reactive system in general activates some physiologic, cognitive and behavioral survival mechanisms via the subcortical areas of the brain (limbic system and brain stem). This often can leave a person with the feeling of not being really supported and received in the world, as well as feeling estranged and isolated, which limits healthy integration and carries the seed for post-traumatic stress.
The over-reactive system is regulated by intra-personal processes as well as being co-regulated by empathic interaction. Therefore, facilitating regulation and social integration should always be part of a psychological first aid.<\/p>\n
The teaching and practice includes:<\/strong>
\u2022 The Social Brain \u2013 its development, personal structuring and our ability to relate;
\u2022 Empathy, attunement and mirror neurons;
\u2022 Auto-Regulation, Self-Regulation, Co-Regulation and the therapeutic relationship;
\u2022 Implicit and explicit memory, the complexity of memory recognition and research beyond the brain*;
\u2022 How Developmental Trauma structures our ability to access our inner and outer resources
\u2022 Generational and Intergenerational Traumas leave strong imprints in a person. We will delve into the depth of our family histories, shedding light on intergenerational patterns and narratives that have influenced our lives;
\u2022 Functional exercises for the integration of body, feelings and mind;
\u2022 Body-oriented processing, Polyvagal activation and other neuro-regulatory interventions;
\u2022 Attain skills to track the energy dynamic in a person;
\u2022 Resourceful processing of somatic memories.<\/p>\n* These insights also draw from Dr. Siegmar Gerken\u2019s research in human energetics: documenting psycho-emotional states within the body-feeling-mind field using infrared analysis and bio-photonic measurement.<\/em><\/p>\nOnline Training<\/span>

However, we are not only living in a time of increasing uncertainties, but we also live in a time and space of heightened stress and experiences with the potential for traumatization.<\/p>\n Some of these experiences have an immediate visible impact on the life of a person, but most often we don\u2019t become fully aware of the situation. We learn to compensate, to adjust, to increase the emotional and physical stress onto our system, so that we can function and meet the demand that life and work bring \u2013 until we feel overwhelmed, emotionally challenged, lack of concentration or healthy sleep, difficulties in relating, increasing unknown fears, even possible signs of panic attacks, burnout or depressed moments \u2013 an overall lack of deep joy, positivity and sense of fulfillment.<\/p>\n In this program you gain a comprehensive understanding of the Trauma Matrix<\/strong> and you learn effective tools for positive change and transformation.<\/p>\n This training is intended for all professionals working with people<\/strong> who wish to become more trauma-informed\u2014both personally and professionally. Ideal for:<\/p>\n Participants will:<\/p>\n * Please note:<\/strong> This training is not intended for individual therapy. The focus of the teaching lies on experience, theory and practice. You can book individual Trauma Therapy separately with Dr. Gerken and staff. Please inquire for more details.<\/p>\n Contemporary trauma theories describe, that a traumatic experience that has made an impact on a person\u2019s system and could not be fully processed and integrated, can often leave the system in a state of stress or shock. Neuroscience and decades of practice experience show, that with the principles of this Integrative Trauma Training of Core Evolution, you can find a place of healing.<\/p>\n Being a pioneer for almost 50 years in the field of Humanistic, Somatic and Transpersonal Psychology, Dr. Siegmar Gerken has developed an integrative approach to work with Developmental-, Shock, Generational-, Collective- and other forms of traumas, that are held in the person\u2019s system, whether they are from past or from the present life situation.<\/p>\n We come to understand, that a trauma is not just held in the brain. <\/strong><\/em> Traumatic situations in early or later phases of life can lead to a numbing, protective withdrawal or to a distortion of reality. These conditions have a strong influence on the forming forces of the personal development and the coping mechanism of how a person lives the daily life. Traumatic experiences are then often becoming \u2018frozen patterns of history\u2019<\/em>.<\/p>\n These patterns manifest on the emotional, somatic and cognitive level of your life and can Integrative Trauma Training<\/em> in Core Evolution gives you an expanded understanding by recognizing and describing the forces that traumatizing patterns can have in the life of a person, in terms of: [\/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=»Learning Modules» _builder_version=»4.27.4″ tab_font=»|||on|||||» global_colors_info=»{}»]<\/p>\n Trauma Experiences and their Effects on the Body, Psyche and our Fields of Life<\/strong><\/p>\n Foundations for the Comprehensive Understanding of Psychological Traumas The teaching and practice includes:<\/strong> Throughout the training we will practice the Principles of Mindfulness<\/em> and safe exercises for the concept of grounding, activation and harmonizing of body and feelings with breathing and movement, developing a Body-Feeling-Thinking-Mind-Awareness as an integrative approach to Trauma Therapy.<\/p>\n Expanding the Therapeutic Realm <\/strong> Every person is part of a society, family, profession, institution, religion, traditions, culture, etc. Therefore, we also have to recognize the complexities of the social dimensions of trauma and its impact on a person\u2019s life.<\/p>\n A traumatized, over-reactive system in general activates some physiologic, cognitive and behavioral survival mechanisms via the subcortical areas of the brain (limbic system and brain stem). This often can leave a person with the feeling of not being really supported and received in the world, as well as feeling estranged and isolated, which limits healthy integration and carries the seed for post-traumatic stress. The teaching and practice includes:<\/strong> * These insights also draw from Dr. Siegmar Gerken\u2019s research in human energetics: documenting psycho-emotional states within the body-feeling-mind field using infrared analysis and bio-photonic measurement.<\/em><\/p>\n Innate Resilience and Inner Resources<\/strong><\/p>\n Application and Practice of Trauma Therapy Principles<\/strong><\/p>\n Experiences in Life and Work \u2013 Questions and Answers<\/strong><\/p>\n The Coherent Self \u2013 development and stabilization of a healthy ground<\/strong><\/p>\n The Integrative Trauma Therapy of Core Evolution<\/em> provides the ground for a life-affirming direction, initiating one\u2019s life-energy again after a traumatic experience and brings a renewed meaning into the life of the person.<\/p>\n The practicing of the body-oriented and mindfulness-centred approach focuses on essential Core qualities of a person and Positive Psychology.

a) limit your capacity for harmonious self-regulation, and
b) make it difficult to stay in deep contact with yourself and allow a natural and authentic expression of your life- energy.<\/p>\n
a) Influencing the state of personal harmony and happiness;
b) Recognizing triggers especially also in relationship and Intimacy, that makes it hard to stay open and loving;
c) Often then it is not easy anymore to connect with the creativity and joy in the professional expression. How a person structures the information in a traumatic event will also determine how resources can be accessed and activated, so that optimal coping strategies and healing processes can be developed accordingly.<\/p>\nLearning Modules<\/h2>\n
