PRESENTERS: Richard P. Brown, MD and Patricia L. Gerbarg, MD

DATES AND TIMES:

• March 22, 2024 - 12:00–3:00 pm;

Breath-Body-Mind™ (BBM) integrates ancient and modern trauma-sensitive techniques to rapidly balance stress-response systems for self-care and healing others. Developed by Integrative Psychiatrists, Richard P. Brown, MD and Patricia Gerbarg, MD, BBM has proven benefits—for healthcare professionals, patients, veterans, and child and adult survivors of mass disasters—and has been shown to increase resilience and reduce the effects of stress.  

Join Dr. Brown and Dr. Gerbarg, along with other senior BBM teachers, for an online experience designed to help you relieve stress and enhance your physical and mental health. Through gentle movement, breathing, and music, you will:

• Learn simple, trauma-sensitive, breath-centered techniques.

• Discover how these are used for personal development, clinical practice, medical settings, schools, disaster recovery, and more.

• Practice breathwork including coherent breathing, Sky and Earth, Painting the Waterfall, and The Great Harmonizer of the Breath.

• Participate in small group processes.

Dr. Gerbarg discusses research—studies of anxiety, PTSD, COVID stress, bowel disease, and everyday stress—on how breath techniques, combined with other practices, lead to significant rapid improvements in psychological and physical wellbeing, sympathetic-parasympathetic balance, emotion regulation, and symptom resolution in a wide range of conditions. She presents new developments in BBM disaster relief in Ukraine, Israel, Turkey, Rwanda, Ireland, and other places. Learn more about this groundbreaking work at breath-body-mind.com.

NOTE: This program is open to all.

Participants who attend all sessions will receive a Breath-Body-Mind certificate of completion.

We strongly advise participants to keep their cameras on during all sessions to allow BBM teachers to monitor and provide additional instructions that will help optimize each person’s breathing practices to gain the greatest benefits.

We request your 100% focus on learning by immersing yourself in this course. Please avoid multi-tasking and minimize interruptions.

This course has been developed by Jyoti Jo Manuel to expand on the BBM practices to include movement, massage techniques, breathwork, relaxation and mindful practices specifically for children who are traumatized by war or displacement.

The intention is to offer therapeutic techniques to help the children to normalize their experience of trauma as much as possible, and keep them safely and comfortably embodied so that there is less risk of long term PTSD.

Each age from 0-10 years will be broken down developmentally according to the child’s physical, physiological and emotional development. As we know, trauma can have such a huge impact on their developing bodies and minds. With Jyoti’s extensive experience of working with children over many years, you will learn effective therapeutic techniques to support each child to thrive.

This 9-hour Certificate Training Course counts towards Breath-Body-Mind Certification in Child Teaching.

Pre-requisite for booking this course is an established practice of coherent breathing.

Fees: £300 sterling
