Your clients with trauma and addiction are just one trigger away from relapse.

As a therapist, you can find yourself walking on eggshells, trying not to "cause" relapse...

  • Target the traumatic root causes that fuel addiction
  • Lower the risk of relapse by reducing clients' urges and cravings
  • Build new healthy coping mechanisms to help clients manage addiction
  • Integrate Parts Work, Somatic, & other modalities to treat your client's body, mind, and spirit
  • Accelerate trauma memory processing so clients can feel improvements right away
  • Start countering the wiring of addiction from the very first session

This one-of-a-kind course will change how you work with trauma and addiction forever, so you can help dual diagnosis clients achieve life-changing outcomes.
