We all have experiences with clients where we cannot make a breakthrough...
When our clients cannot hear us through the haze of their pain... we must learn to view the world through the lens of their trauma so we can achieve the therapist-client connection and healing they so desperately need.
That’s why we’ve put together this comprehensive online course with renowned trauma expert Christiane Sanderson, MSc
You’ll discover how you can integrate trauma-informed practices with your clients – and maximise the effectiveness of your clinical interventions.
When you complete this online course, you’ll walk away with the actionable tools, frameworks, and techniques Christiane has gathered throughout her 30+ years' of experience working with victims of trauma.
Become a trauma-informed therapist with the knowledge and confidence you need to transform the lives of even your most challenging clients.

Treating Complex PTSD
Our client's early life experiences and lack of attachment relationships can leave them with a diminished sense of self. They can struggle to connect with their own parts due to self-hatred and self-loathing. Janina shows you how you can overcome these obstacles using her proven approach so your clients can repair their self-relationship, reconnect with their parts and begin the healing process.
We can't view trauma in a vacuum without also looking at its consequences for our clients, and the societal aftermath that follows. Judith Herman, MD, discusses the impact the justice system has on complex trauma survivors, survivors' perspective of the justice system, and what justice looks like to survivors of complex trauma.
Therapists that work with trauma can be particularly prone towards automatic, deep resonance with their clients. This talent for resonance is also the basis for their most common and volatile professional risks: vicarious traumatisation and compassion fatigue. In this session, Babette shares vital theory, exercises, and take-home strategies that put the trauma therapist fully in charge of regulating their own empathy and mirror system rather than falling victim to its effects.
