Learn the essential therapeutic components of an integrated, trauma-informed approach for helping clients heal from unresolved childhood trauma, often referred to as Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (CPTSD).

This is the work that helps people become Cycle Breakers – to transcend the limitations that come from a childhood filled with trauma, chaos, and a general lack of safety. This course contains the wisdom I’ve gained from over 30 years as a trauma therapist and from the wisdom I’ve gained from my own extensive personal journey of trauma recovery.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

1. Explain developmental trauma and how it impacts the trajectory of safety, worthiness, and identity.

2. Describe what happens physiologically, psychologically, and spiritually when trauma occurs.

3. Understand important aspects of trauma recovery, including the decision to heal, establishing safety, working with the psyche, nervous system regulation, emotional regulation, and integration.

4. Utilize practical tools for nervous system regulation, emotional processing, and story re-authoring.

5. Support clients in identifying and shifting subconscious patterns, protective mechanisms, and self-sabotaging behaviors.

6. Discuss spiritual frameworks for understanding why people experience trauma and how recovery reconnects them to Essence.

7. Guide clients in completing unresolved survival responses (fight, flight, fawn, freeze, shutdown).

8. Instill hope and help clients envision possibilities beyond survival, fostering post-traumatic growth.
