The Advanced Master Program on the Treatment of Trauma

Treating trauma is among the most demanding and complex work we do as practitioners. When patients have experienced trauma, many traditional methods to establish safety and build rapport may fail us. For clients who have suffered trauma, relationships might feel unsafe, and eye contact can be frightening. Perhaps most challenging, patients can get easily triggered during their sessions. When this happens, their nervous system becomes flooded, cognition is knocked offline, and they may not be able to process much in words.

At this point, cognitive-behavioral approaches, psychoeducation, and insight-based techniques become ineffective or even counterproductive. But the way we understand trauma and how to treat it has evolved, especially in recent years. We’ve gone beyond the traditional fight, flight, or freeze model. Now, we’re learning how to work with additional defensive adaptations that clients make to survive trauma.

New Insights in Trauma Treatment

We’re finding new strategies that help clients feel safe and grounded at the level of the nervous system. We have fresh insights into how to help patients whose trauma history is derailing their current relationships—the very relationships that can be powerful sources of strength, comfort, and support as they heal. Moreover, we’re learning how to identify and work with both subtle and obvious ways that clients dissociate. Equally important are the micro-interventions that can help your client come into the present and become a more stable, emotionally mature adult—capable of intimacy and flexibility, and equipped to see the world with nuance.

When we’re able to help clients rewire their trauma response, it can have a profound effect on healing. Promising clinical research and evidence-backed strategies can lead our practice in new directions. That’s why we’ve developed an advanced program that gathers all the latest information on the treatment of trauma. We’re calling all practitioners worldwide to join us for the next five weeks as we focus on the latest findings on trauma and its treatment.
