Description

“All pain is a [defensive] output of the brain”

International Pain Researcher Prof Lorrimer Moseley

My first masterclass of 2025 is focusing in on one of the most commonly misunderstood responses during TRE – pain.

Learning how to successfully engage with pain responses during TRE can not only bring about profound healing & resolution of those specific pain outputs, but also provides our clients with an embodied shift into an entirely different relationship with pain in their own body as well.

Key concepts I will cover during this masterclass will include:

• pain as a verb – an overview of the latest neuroscientific understanding of pain as a protective ‘output’ of the organism
• a movement-based model of pain – a polyvagal-informed model of mobilising pain v’s immobilising pain
• pain as a somatic marker of defence – why pain is one of the key somatic markers of protection during TRE
• pain as active or passive protection response  – learning to differentiate between pain as an active protective response (against the neurogenic movement) v’s a baseline habitual protective state (irrelevant to the neurogenic tremor response itself)
• pain counter-transference – exploring our own relationship to pain & the transference of fear & avoidance to our clients
• working with pain during TRE – how to safely engage with pain responses as opportunities for resolution & integration rather than simply avoiding them
• referral for further investigation – when & why it is important to refer clients with unresolved pain for further investigation

The masterclass will included a guided group tremor session where you will be able to explore your embodied responses to these concepts & any unresolved reactions to pain during TRE.
