LOS ANGELES — Trauma and addiction specialist Nathaniel Hodder-Shipp has been invited to train attendees at Everyone Deserves Sex-Ed (EDSE)'s upcoming 25-hour sex educator certification program. The program is scheduled for November 9-10 and 16-17 in Los Angeles.
"Nathaniel will facilitate discussion of trauma-informed care, the impact of trauma on the body and how to maintain a client-centered approach in an educational setting," said a release from the organization.
"Nathaniel and I are partners in our personal and professional lives, and part of our work has centered around trauma — not only working with our own but also supporting professionals who navigate this sensitive subject on a daily basis," said EDSE founder Anne Hodder-Shipp. "Nathaniel has made a career supporting educators, counselors and mental health professionals manage their own trauma, burnout, and compassion fatigue, and I am excited for EDSE attendees to learn from him."
Nathaniel specializes in using Polyvagal theory, harm reduction models, and pranayama breathwork to help people "disrupt negative thought patterns and develop supportive coping mechanisms as a key form of self-care."
"Supporting fellow healers, mental health professionals, and educators-to-be is an important part of my job and I am excited to join the EDSE team for the November training," said Nathaniel. "Working with trauma is one of my specialties, and this program is a great opportunity for educators and facilitators to learn what 'trauma-informed' really means."
Nathaniel is also the founder of Breathwork for Recovery, "the first and only national organization dedicated to training mental health professionals as breathwork practitioners."
The next EDSE certification will take place November 9-10 and 16-17 in Los Angeles. Individual certification is $2,095, and payment plans are available to those in need. To apply, click here.
