Join world-renowned therapeutic tremoring expert Richmond Heath, founder of TRE Australia, for a comprehensive masterclass on the relationship between Shaking Medicine and trauma. Explore polyvagal theory for a deep understanding of the science behind the nervous system & how it relates to Shaking Medicine. You'll discover how to regulate resistance in your body, regulate defensive responses to your shaking and how to self-regulate. You'll understand neuroception, what is unresolved trauma, the APACT model, and the polyvagal curve. You'll gain a deep understanding of the nervous system, how to grow through triggers and trauma, trauma-informed living, and much more. You'll also experience embodiment classes that directly apply the knowledge taught in the sessions. You'll be able to download all of the slides that Richmond uses in his presentations.

  • The old model of the nervous system
  • Sympathetic and parasympathetic
• Ventral vagal pathway and dorsal vagal pathway
• Phylogenetically ordered defence
• The polyvagal curve
• Movement model of polyvagal theory
• Practical & group shake
  • In this group therapeutic tremoring practice Richmond focuses on demonstrating the stop/start self-regulation process and its powerful benefits.

• Stop-Start
• Practical & group shake
  • In this practical session, we break down key signals from tremoring bodies and Richmond shares ways to take the tremors deeper from what he is seeing.
  • As a group, we witnessed how the powerful stop/starting self-regulation method helped to activate and deepen therapeutic tremoring in people. 
• Review & reflections
• Grounded teachers
• Neuroception – why our groundedness is the key
• The 'social' engagement system
