You Get Pills Or A Talk, But Never A Solution
Feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, and on edge? Are you struggling with relationships, unable to connect or always avoiding conflict?

Make Room For Joyful Possibilities
We all experience trauma. Big events happen in our life that we may not know how to handle. We then store these experiences in our bodies. Over time, stored trauma can cause an array of problems that take a toll on our relationships, mental health, and even our physical well-being.
But today you can decide that you’ve had enough of this. That you will no longer carry this pain. That you are ready to figure out how to move forward. Today you can take your thoughts of overwhelm, stress, and burnout and transform them to strength, joy, and resilience.
Hosted by Dr. Aimie Apigian, a double board-certified physician and the leading medical expert on stored trauma in the body, the Biology of Trauma® 3.0 Summit brings together more than 40 renowned experts in Trauma Therapy, Neuroscience, Functional Medicine, Mental Health, Psychology, and Physiology. Together, they offer a comprehensive approach to understanding and managing trauma and its physical manifestations.
At this summit, you will gain critical insights and invaluable techniques to better understand trauma. Each day of this summit you’ll learn from top experts how to identify and find the missing piece of your healing puzzle. The piece that connects your mind, body, and spirit for deep healing and lasting recovery.
Somatic Experiencing® International
In Partnership with
Somatic Experiencing (SE™) aims to resolve symptoms of stress, shock, and trauma that accumulate in our bodies. When we are stuck in patterns of fight, flight, or freeze, SE helps us release, recover, and become more resilient. It is a body-oriented therapeutic model applied in multiple professions and professional settings—psychotherapy, medicine, coaching, teaching, and physical therapy—for healing trauma and other stress disorders. It is based on a multidisciplinary intersection of physiology, psychology, ethology, biology, neuroscience, indigenous healing practices, and medical biophysics and has been clinically applied for more than four decades. It is the life’s work of Dr. Peter A. Levine.
The SE approach releases traumatic shock, which is key to transforming PTSD and the wounds of emotional and early developmental attachment trauma. It offers a framework to assess where a person is “stuck” in the fight, flight or freeze responses and provides clinical tools to resolve these fixated physiological states. SE provides effective skills appropriate to a variety of healing professions including mental health, medicine, physical and occupational therapies, bodywork, addiction treatment, first response, education, and others.
