Chi for Two Trauma Healing

Dee Wagner, Chi for Two Originator, and Rita Young, Chi for Two Embodiment Coach, recently presented at the Georgia Behavioral Health Conference (GBHDD) Defining the Future: Reimagining Support and Belonging.

One participant shared, “I tried the Push practice and it really helped.”

In their Reimagining Belonging workshops, Dee and Rita offered practices that invite helping professionals to celebrate oppositional movement—the best way to support belonging.

🎙️ On this episode of the Chi for Two Podcast, the crew is talking Dolly Parton!

Join Cas, Fred, and Chelsea as they move through a conversation about Dolly’s influence, artistry, and impact, inviting Chi for Two practices from each emanation of embodiment along the way.

Dolly was a Star. ⭐️ Chi for Two can help us all find the Star within ourselves.

If you are an LPC, LCSW or MFT, and you are interested in the lover dance, you'll want to attend this in-person 6CE offering on Nov 13th in Atlanta (*Stone Mountain)!

Long-time certified mediator and trainer in Emotionally Focused Therapy for couples (EFT) and nonviolent communications (NVC) as well as Certified Chi for Two® Embodiment Coach and Trainer Mukti Jarvis will be in Atlanta from Melbourne, Australia for this in-person workshop in Stone Mountain.

Mukti, along with Chi for Two Coach Fred Shelton, ASMP, and Chi for Two originator Dee Wagner, LPC, BC-DMT, MSME/T, will offer this in-person CE workshop for counselors, social workers and marriage and family therapists based on their peer-reviewed journal article from 2024.

This workshop will help you understand anatomically why talking to our lovers can bring out our claws...can cause a sensation as big as "I want to bite your head off!" You can learn the physiology that explains why this is true.

We hope you will join us!

No one gets what is ideal.

However, when we have somatic knowing of what is ideal, we become who we would have become if we had gotten what is ideal. 🌟

Chi for Two®, a mindful embodiment method, offers somatic movement healing practices that are relational and developmental.

Chi for Two (Chi meaning energy, Two meaning relational) is a synthesis of many trauma healing methods and is an Approved Training Program with ISMETA (International Somatic Movement Education & Therapy Association).

Chi for Two practitioners offer somatic healing in a way that “dances with” clients instead of “doing something to” a client.

Trained Chi for Two coaches help to re-pattern nervous system functioning by:

*using an invitational approach
*offering relational somatic support
*celebrating new movement expressions over time that provide a robust quality of embodiment and healing.
