TESTIMONIALS: What Recent Attendees Are Saying:

"Absolutely brilliant workshop, extremely informative, easy to understand, and another full framework to take away and work with. Hugely helpful and truly encompasses the full aspects of a person experiencing trauma, with a framework to also help each aspect: Mind, body and spirit. I really deeply appreciate your knowledge and determination to help spread this work to as many as possible." Suzanne M. Integrative Therapeutic Counsellor

"I really enjoyed the course and felt it was delivered in a fabulous way. I learnt a lot; however the day went exceptionally fast and it did not feel heavy going. This was certainly down to the lovely relaxed, yet informative delivery by the trainer. I think because Wale was so knowledgeable about the subject, he was able to deliver the material in a straightforward and relatable manner." Lyndsey C.

"I loved today’s event. It was very informative, I have gained new knowledge I can apply in my therapy sessions. Thank you so much." Karen W., Counsellor

"Excellent. The course was packed full of really interesting and insightful information which I will most definitely use in client sessions moving forward." Lucy P. Integrative Mental Health Therapist

David O. Counsellor

"Great course. Thoroughly enjoyed Trauma, the Brain & Recovery, very informative. Will greatly enhance my counselling knowledge with clients. Looking forward to seeing you on the next course." Debbie A., Counsellor

"Thank you so much for doing the days course today on Trauma. It was incredible. I was thrilled with your analogy of the brain, comparing it to roles in the office (helps so much) and would love to research more into genetic trauma and our ancestors. It is so so so interesting. Amazing information and so much value and knowledge. Breakout rooms were brilliant." Meera V. Student Counsellor

"I very much enjoyed it and found it very useful for my client work. The emphasis on the safety phase was particularly helpful and also the many helpful tips you gave, as well as the imagery used to describe the different part of the brain and their roles." Father David B.,

"Inspiring, informative, lively and thorough." Cindy B.

"Thank you very much for today’s course I found it very informative and enjoyable. I felt the pace was very good compared to other courses I have done and will be doing more with mind body breakthrough after enjoying today so much." Charlotte D.

"Outstanding in delivery and information. I enjoyed every word and it is unusual to hear every bit of a full day course without losing some concentration. I will be looking for other courses to attend with MBB." Julia H.

"The course was fantastic: a great collaboration of neuroscience, spiritual compassion and holistic approaches. Ten out of ten for the trainer and the course content." Cheryl M

"REAL techniques and real scientific information. I feel it is important for clients to know what is happening in their body and why there are physical sensations to trauma. Wale was very relaxed and clear in his explanations and kept interruptions to a minimum. The handout was excellent and having a whole copy of the presentation is excellent as my notes correspond to it." Lizzie W. Counsellor

"Excellent course, very informative. This is the third time I'm participating in the events you're organising and as always I've found the content very interesting and well worth the investment." Florina E.

"I really enjoyed this course and found the content fascinating! It will help me better understand my friend who has gone through childhood trauma, and I can also directly apply the methods outlined in the ‘accelerating the brain’s healing process’ to myself (am recovering from chronic stress and burnout so this was extremely useful!!)" Mimi M., Business Analyst,

"Good course, comprehensive. Good to have so much detail about the brain mechanisms, dissociation and recovery. I am extremely grateful to Wale Oladipo for these workshops and resources." Alex W.

"Thank you for a truly informative and inspiring training day. I learned so much and would say that this is the best training that I have attended in a long time (and I have attended many), in terms of delivery, pace and content. I would not hesitate to recommend this training to anyone who wishes to understand more about Trauma, the brain and recovery. It stands out as Gold Star amidst the sea of training that is currently available." Shirley M., Teacher, Trainer & Therapeutic Counsellor

"Thank you so much for that amazing webinar. I am a trauma survivor and feel absolutely amazing after learning more about myself and doing those exercises – I will be doing them for the next 21 days without fail! 😊" Claire Y.

"Really recommend the event to anyone interested in trauma. Presenter was great made the even easy to follow by using useful metaphors. I think there was the right amount of interaction to learning ratio and the sessions were really useful and informative." Jamie W. Education Mental Health Practitioner

"I thoroughly enjoyed today and have learnt so much as a newly qualified psychotherapist, so I would just like to thank you for holding this hugely enriching workshop. I have found it difficult to encounter training and development opportunities such as those offered by yourselves and will definitely be attending more!" Amrita S. Psychotherapist

"Changing the course to on-line was brilliant, especially with the current lockdown scenario. The course content was very insightful, with many useful resources and perspectives that other practitioners can find useful within a counselling context, combined with useful exercises that can help myself/other individuals to defuse the impact of stressful life events. I really enjoyed the course and felt refreshed and feeling I have more tools to add to my toolkit of therapeutic tools." Beverley R., NHS Counsellor,

"I thoroughly enjoyed the workshop and found your delivery and content captivating and insightful, both in a deeply personal way and in a very beneficial professional capacity. I was especially taken with just how accessible you made a complex subject with your explanations and analogies. As well as humanising it with your account of your own personal experience! That was particularly profound. Thank you for sharing! I am a policy developer for a UK police force and we are currently working to bring trauma informed practice into our service. I will certainly be advocating your work." Suzi G.

"Very useful and thought-provoking course with hugely insightful content, which can be adopted in practical ways to support client healing." Hollie P., Trainee Therapist

"The webinar was interesting, informative, and gave me a lot to think about. I would recommend it to anyone who feels they want to tackle their trauma, as well as professionals working with those who have experienced trauma." Robin F. Artist Practitioner

"I thought the event was wonderful, Wale has so much passion and knowledge and made learning a pleasure. I would recommend this training to my colleagues, but it was also approachable for people with PTSD." Rebecca F., Dance Movement Psychotherapist

"Would recommend the course / courses provided by Mindbody Breakthrough. Excellent content, delivery, knowledgeable facilitator and no travel due to being an online webinar, affordable prices too, what’s not to like!!" Carole C., Cognitive Behavioural Therapist

"Really useful & insightful I really enjoyed the details about the brain which I can use to help to explain to clients that I am working with. Grateful that we will receive the recorded session as it was a lot of information to take in." Katerina D. Assistant Psychologist

"Thank you for making this possible online. Going through it on my own pace it was more beneficial than attending face to face. Meditations are great. I am both a professional working with children with autism as a paediatric doctor but also a mum of an autistic boy but I am also a survivor of childhood trauma. I would like to know more about autism and trauma." Dr Andreea G.

"Thank you so much for an excellent trauma course today. I wasn't quite sure what to expect but it was fascinating and really useful. While face to face is always better the Zoom course worked well and it meant I could go for a quick run in the lunchbreak! I am a critical care paramedic on an air ambulance and I am also the patient liaison clinician, so support our patients and their families after their incident. I therefore have a professional interest in trauma and recovery. I want to be able to recognise when help is required for both my patients who have experienced trauma and my colleagues who have chronic exposure to dealing with it (but will never admit!) I hope that I can signpost them somewhere. I also have a personal interest as I was diagnosed with PTSD 2 years ago after much denial before the freeze response stopped me! I have also had a traumatic birth and so the postnatal depression chat was really interesting. Having had rewind therapy I was really interested to hear the neuroscience behind it. I loved the analogies to the CEO/security guard/filing cabinets and I feel I can use that to try to explain it. Thank you. I think my colleagues could benefit from this day and I will definitely look at your online resources and other courses." Kate A. Parademic

"I’ve just attended (online via Zoom) a training day about Trauma and the Brain. I just wanted to write and say a big thank you to Wale. The course was excellent and I will definitely recommend to other colleagues and professionals. It was well presented and structured and gave me new information as well as reinforcing existing information. Trauma is an area i'm passionate about from a professional and personal point of view so Thanks again Wale - Amazing!" Heather D., Integrative Counsellor

"Really great – pitched perfectly with lots of the supporting science. Loved your metaphors which make recall much easier. Thank you." Emma F., Student Counsellor

"I really enjoyed how the brain functions were explained, how the polyvagal theory was introduced and summarised. The course was very accessible to beginners and I enjoy that we have meditations to try." Krissy S, Trainee Therapist
