Complex Trauma Treatment Fundamentals

$249.99 Standard

When you treat clients with complex trauma there are so many intricacies. From diverse histories and ranges of responses to attachment issues, co-occurring disorders and dissociation, no two clients are exactly alike.

With so much complexity you can quickly find yourself in uncharted territory. But theory and overviews just aren’t enough, you need practical “do this” guidance to navigate this labyrinth.

I know. I used to have the same struggles. Now as a trainer and consultant specializing in complex trauma, I help therapists like you overcome the challenges that can steal your confidence and stall your treatment plans.

And now, in this training I’ll provide you the keys to unlocking a new level of confidence and competency in this critical area of therapy.

When you watch me, you’ll get the solid foundation you need to work with complex trauma clients, ready to not just understand today’s most in-demand therapies like IFS therapy, EMDR, and somatic approaches but actually put strategies from them into practice with your clients right away.

I’ll provide you with detailed instruction, step-by-step guides, and case studies that will make it easy for you to:

  • Master the art of comprehensive trauma assessments
  • Discover IFS therapy tools to “unburden” clients from their wounded parts, emotions, and beliefs
  • Utilize meaning-making to help clients reshape their narratives toward healing
  • More intuitively engage the body in therapy for holistic treatment
  • Address attachment issues to help clients build healthier relationship
  • Insights and key considerations for working with co-morbidities
  • And more!

Don’t miss this chance to walk away with a set of actionable strategies you can immediately apply in your practice.
