Weekend 1

Recognising trauma and regulating the nervous system
Covers core definitions of trauma, with an emphasis on how
clinical understanding of trauma has significantly changed. We
consider the intersection between the traumatic environment
and how this shows up in the body. We learn how to develop a
respectful collaborative approach with our clients as we consider
how a traumatic environment has impacted the body (body
function, behaviour, physiological responses, nervous system,

emotional regulation)

Weekend 1 (February 7-8)

Weekend 2

We focus on working respectfully with our client's experiences
of trauma. We cover the importance of co-regulation when
working with trauma. Practitioners learn to focus on validating
the ways traumatic experiences in the past, impact current life,
with emphasis on environment, the body, relationships, and
feelings of self-worth and sense of shame. Techniques focus on
clients gaining a sense of mastery and empowerment in places
where they may have felt alone, or helpless in the past.

Weekend 2 (March 7-8)

Weekend 3

Living with trauma is complex and clients can feel as if there is
only space for survival. In the final two days we work on clients
learning some mastery in controlling their stress responses,
environments and life as well as understanding and mourning
what is out of their control. Clients learn an increased capacity
to come back from dark places. In these final training days we
allow space for our clients to re-imagine their future, with more

moments for connection, healing and recovery.
