Resilience Strategies for Trauma Recovery: A Strength-Based Approach to Healing
Arielle Schwartz, PhD
Clinical psychologist, EMDR and somatic therapist
Join Dr. Arielle Schwartz for an experiential presentation exploring resilience, somatic healing, and more. An expert in early childhood trauma and complex PTSD, Dr. Schwartz helps us understand the nature of trauma as it relates to fear and our memories of frightening or traumatic experiences. This model integrates an embodied approach to healing with specific attention to the impact of childhood trauma. We’ll discover practical tools such as somatic psychology, EMDR therapy, parts work therapy, and therapeutic yoga for trauma recovery.
Session Highlights:
- Shifting our lens from “trauma informed” to “resilience informed”
- Discovering the six Pillars of Resilience
- Exploring the six Rs of neuropsychotherapy, along with somatic tools for trauma recovery
- Additional practices include grounding, pandiculation, and a self-compassion exercise

Resilience: Transforming Any Adversity into Learning and Growth
Linda Graham, MFT
Psychotherapist, award-winning author
People can learn and grow from meeting the challenges and adversities of life—from a series of small annoyances, to the troubles and tragedies that break their hearts, to the utter catastrophes that change their lives forever—when they have the support, resources, and skills to do so. This session will explore how you can recover from tragedy and move into a new sense of your strengths, new possibilities, a clearer sense of meaning and purpose, and deeper connections with others. You’ll discover the five key factors for post-traumatic growth so you can bounce forward from any trauma or tragedy.
Session Highlights:
- Understanding how family, friends, and community are important parts of resourcing
- Recognizing the positive in the midst of the difficult and finding the gifts within mistakes
- Developing a coherent narrative of traumatizing events within the context of a larger life story
- Gaining the potential to appreciate a new life that emerges not just in spite of the difficulties but because of them
