“I believe that everyone has the path to healing within. The trauma treatment process is an uncovering, during which the individual remembers his or her true self," said Ryan Soave, Next Chapter Program Director.
Next Chapter Treatment in conjunction with The Realization Center are excited to present a one-day, continuing education unit (CEU) seminar, held in New York, NY on Thursday, October 19th, 2017.

Registration for the event will take place at 11:00am, and the event itself will be held from 11:30am to 1:30pm. The seminar will be presented by Ryan Soave, the Program Director at Next Chapter Treatment.
Ryan Soave, MA, CTT, RYT-200, and Certified Breathwork Specialist, holds a Master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling. In addition to years of experience as a Certified Trauma Therapist, he is an advanced student of Somatic Experiencing, a yoga teacher, and a meditation instructor. Ryan has extensive experience working with post-traumatic stress disorder and unresolved trauma, and is an expert in the practices and teachings of mindfulness. He has had the opportunity to lead meditations for the United States House of Representatives, and has worked alongside many other high-profile individuals and organizations. Ryan believes that the trauma treatment process is an uncovering, during which the individual remembers his or her true self. He believes that everyone has the path to healing within – they may simply need help navigating this path at first.
The seminar will focus on four main learning objectives. First, it will help attendees gain a deeper understanding of the effects that trauma often has on the emotional, mental, and physical health of the concerned individual. Attendees will also gain a deeper understanding of stress, and the role that stress plays in behavioral and chemical addictions. Ryan Soave will discuss mindfulness in depth, explaining the vital role that it plays in the trauma treatment process. And finally, attendees will learn to build up the capacity of the parasympathetic nervous system. They will be taught a specific set of tools and coping mechanisms, geared towards increased mindfulness and stress-relief. Two Credentialed Alcoholism and Substance Abuse Counselor (CASAC) hours will be provided, and lunch will be served.
