Trauma-Informed Workshops

For Documentary Filmmakers & Journalists

These workshops support media professionals working in emotionally demanding environments.

Drawing on extensive production experience alongside trauma-informed and somatic training, the sessions explore how exposure to difficult material affects the nervous system — and how greater awareness can support both ethical storytelling and personal sustainability.

This is practical, embodied education for professionals operating in complex human spaces.

What We Explore

Understanding the Nervous System
How trauma exposure impacts physiology, attention, memory and relational dynamics.

Ethical & Relational Practice
Trauma-sensitive interviewing, power awareness and contributor care.

Embodied Awareness
Simple somatic tools for recognising overload, grounding under pressure and building sustainable regulation.

Introduction to TRE
A practical overview of how the body can release accumulated stress and tension.

Time is also spent in the presence of the herd, offering a reflective relational field to deepen awareness and integration.
