Somatic Tools for Crisis Response with Iona Singleton

Trauma does not end the moment someone reaches safety. For survivors, it often continues to surface in courtrooms, therapy sessions, shelters, medical appointments, and everyday moments—sometimes appearing as panic, shutdown, forgetfulness, emotional overwhelm, or dysregulation, and too often misunderstood as instability or a lack of credibility. Join us for this timely webinar exploring somatic (body-based) tools for crisis response and trauma-informed care. Together, we’ll unpack what happens mentally, emotionally, and physiologically during a trauma response, why felt safety matters, and practical ways to foster greater calm and regulation during moments of distress. We are honored to be joined by Iona Singleton, whose expertise in trauma, crisis response, and nervous system healing will offer valuable insight for attorneys, advocates, therapists, law enforcement professionals, case managers, and service providers seeking to better support survivors—and themselves.
