We now know so much about the impact of trauma on the mind but what about our bodies? Let’s explore the profound connection between trauma and the body in this empowering talk designed to foster healing and resilience. Through a combination of cutting-edge research, somatic practices, and reflective exercises, attendees will gain insight into how trauma manifests physically and affects overall well-being.

This talk is ideal for anyone looking to deepen their understanding of trauma, including individuals on a healing journey, caregivers, and mental health Professionals.

Guided by experienced Dr Ravi Gill, attendees will engage in safe, interactive sessions that emphasise the body’s role in processing and releasing trauma. Techniques such as mindfulness, breathwork, and gentle movement will be explored to support nervous system regulation and restore a sense of safety within the body. Leave with practical tools, renewed self-awareness, and a deeper appreciation of the body’s innate capacity to heal.

Dr Ravi Gill is a Chartered Health Psychologist and passionate advocate for mental health awareness, specialising in mental health, trauma, anxiety disorders, and workplace wellbeing. With over 15 years of clinical experience, Dr Gill combines evidence-based practices with a compassionate approach to empower individuals on their journey towards emotional well-being.

In addition to her clinical work within the Metropolitan Police Service, Dr Gill also contributes regularly to leading publications, where she offers practical insights and expert commentary on a wide range of mental health topics. Through these publications she aims to demystify psychological concepts, reduce stigma, and inspire readers to prioritise their mental health and wellbeing.
