Tao of Trauma - Virtual Offering

Service Description

The Tao of Trauma offers a unique fusion of Traditional Chinese Medicine and modern trauma science, providing an innovative pathway to restore balance, regulation, and vitality for trauma survivors. This program, created by Elaine Duncan, bridges Eastern and Western perspectives, integrating insights from Polyvagal Theory, animal predator/prey dynamics, and somatic awareness with the timeless wisdom of TCM. Rooted in the principles of the Five Elements and the Five Seasons of the Chinese agricultural calendar, it guides you in recognizing how past trauma can create energetic blockages and self-protective patterns. Through this online somatic experience, you will be guided to feel into your body, release tension, restore flow, and support its natural capacity for healing. You will explore how trauma shapes both your nervous system and energetic patterns, while learning embodied techniques to shift emotional states, regulate autonomic responses, and cultivate resilience. All sessions take place in the comfort and safety of your home, led by Dr. Yana Symonenko, L.Ac., who is certified in this transformative program.
