Full Course Description

Trauma-informed Practice when Working with Complex PTSD

We all have experiences with clients where we cannot make a breakthrough...

When our clients cannot hear us through the haze of their pain... we must learn to view the world through the lens of their trauma so we can achieve the therapist-client connection and healing they need.

That’s why we've partnered with renowned trauma expert Christiane Sanderson BSc, MSc…

…So you can become a trauma-informed therapist with the knowledge and confidence to transform the lives of even your most challenging clients.

You’ll walk away with actionable tools, frameworks, and techniques she has gathered throughout her 30+ years' experience working with victims of trauma.

Discover how to integrate trauma-informed practices with your clients – and maximise the effectiveness of your clinical interventions.

The Body Remembers: the interplay of regulation, self-care and vicarious trauma With Babette Rothschild, MSW, LCSW

Therapists that work with trauma can be particularly prone towards automatic, deep resonance with their clients. This talent for resonance is also the basis for their most common and volatile professional risks: vicarious traumatisation and compassion fatigue. In this session, Babette shares vital theory, exercises, and take-home strategies that put the trauma therapist fully in charge of regulating their own empathy and mirror system rather than falling victim to its effects.
