London Workshop: Understanding & Treating Complex PTSD

Top Organiser
Overview

We are delighted to invite you to our popular live workshop on Healing Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (c-PTSD) (limited places)

A one-day neuroscience-informed workshop for survivors + professionals


Everyone interested in the subject is welcome. This course is quality-checked by The National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society.

This course counts 6 hours of study towards our 18-hour Trauma Informed Certification.

The remainder trauma-related courses are below and can be taken in no particular order:


6 CPD Hours • A.S.I.E.C.C.™ Framework • Certification Pathway

Complex PTSD doesn’t mean you’re “too sensitive.”
It means your brain and nervous system have been forced to survive too much, for too long, often without enough safety, support, or escape.

This in-person MindBody Breakthrough training is designed to give you something many people never receive:
clear understanding
practical tools
a recovery roadmap
and a safe, trauma-informed learning environment

Whether you are attending as a survivor, a therapist, a coach, a support worker, or someone who supports others, this workshop will help you make sense of complex trauma through the lens of the brain, body, and nervous system — without shame, blame, or overwhelm.


What You’ll Learn

This workshop combines neuroscience, trauma psychology, somatic healing tools, and practical reflection work to help you understand and support Complex PTSD recovery.

You will learn:

  • The difference between PTSD vs Complex PTSD (and why it matters)
  • How long-term trauma reshapes the brain’s threat system
    (amygdala, hippocampus, prefrontal cortex)
  • Why emotional flashbacks happen — and how to respond to them safely
  • The biology behind hypervigilance, shutdown, dissociation, numbness and shame
  • How stress chemistry (cortisol, adrenaline, dopamine, oxytocin) affects symptoms
  • A light and accessible survival-state lens (fight/flight/freeze/shutdown) to support self-awareness
  • How healing happens in the right sequence, not through pressure


The A.S.I.E.C.C.™ Framework for Healing

You’ll be guided through the A.S.I.E.C.C.™ Framework — a structured, trauma-informed pathway for long-term recovery:

This framework helps survivors and professionals understand what recovery actually requires — and why “just move on” never works.


Somatic Tools & Guided Practices (Included)

This is not just information. You will experience practical nervous-system tools you can take home and use immediately, including:

  • Somatic grounding practices for triggers and overwhelm
  • Breath-based regulation tools to reduce stress chemistry
  • Simple body-based techniques for emotional containment
  • Safe self-attunement practices to rebuild internal security
  • Guided nervous-system regulation you can repeat anytime

No one is forced to share personal trauma.
Everything is taught in a choice-based, trauma-sensitive way.


What You’ll Take Home (Included With Your Ticket)

Every attendee will receive take-home resources to support continued growth after the workshop:

Printable Course Handouts
Workbook & Reflection (for personal healing or client work)
Somatic Regulation Tools
Guided Somatic Meditation Resources
Case Study Worksheets (to apply learning in real-world settings)
Certificate of Attendance (6 CPD Hours)
Optional Certification Pathway information (for those wanting deeper training)

These resources are designed to help you apply the learning long after the event ends.


Who This Training Is For

This workshop is suitable for:

✅ Survivors of complex trauma seeking clarity and practical recovery tools
✅ Therapists / counsellors / psychologists who want deeper neurobiological understanding
✅ Coaches / mentors / pastoral carers supporting people through trauma patterns
✅ Support workers / educators / wellbeing staff in frontline environments
✅ Anyone who wants a neuroscience-informed approach to Complex PTSD healing


Why This Workshop Works

Many people receive support that focuses on behaviour and symptoms — but not the nervous system.

This training helps you understand:
You don’t heal Complex PTSD by forcing yourself to be okay.
You heal by restoring safety — in the body, the brain, and relationships.
