Trauma Intensive is a six-day training for qualified therapists who wish to strengthen their ability to support, educate and validate clients who have experienced trauma.
This training is designed to help therapists integrate a trauma-informed approach into their existing practice. Each day combines clinical theory with practice-based learning. Each training day will be broken down into morning sessions focussing on theoretical frameworks and ways of weaving trauma-informed thinking into psychotherapeutic work and afternoon sessions offering opportunities for clinical application, experiential exercises, and focussed supervision in a supportive group setting.
Training Outline
Days 1–2: Recognising trauma and regulating the nervous system
Days 3–4: Techniques for processing trauma
Days 5–6: Re-imagining the future
