Focus:
SmartBody SmartMind (SBSM)’s focus is on self-healing.
Level 1 is focused on teaching others and/or groups how to gain capacity for self-healing, which can lead to trauma healing.
Pace:
SBSM’s curriculum is organized in a way that the students self-lead and take their time to move through the content at their own pace.
Level 1 will have room for rest and integration. When we are in training, either live or online, there will be an expectation that students can maintain capacity and awareness, even if feeling activation in the form of fight, flight, or freeze. In other words, students must have enough of a real window of tolerance that can take a little positive stress, to stay on pace with the timeline of the curriculum.
Of course, there are times when a big “boulder” of stored survival stress might come up and out while in our training environment, and that is ok. It is key that each student can navigate that potential occurrence whilst in training, and then do the necessary steps to find support and take care of oneself outside of class time.
