Improving your safe trauma therapy approach!

This program provides clinicians with a clear and practical approach to providing safe trauma therapy. The focus is on working with individuals with emotion regulation difficulties and preparing individuals for safe trauma memory processing and insight work.
Following both a Somatic Trauma Therapy and Stabilisation Based Therapy approach, the Trauma Intensive Workshop is split into three phases. Participants follow the phase-based approach with their clients and this is replicated within the treatment. The program is scheduled over 6 months to support progress with your identified clients using this safe trauma therapy approach.
