TESTIMONIALS: What Previous Attendees Are Saying:

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 (13/6/20)

"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 (3/7/20)

“I wanted to say I really enjoyed today's session. I wasn't too sure what to expect, but it was packed with a lot of useful information and I really liked the way you paced it with the breaks to ensure no one became overwhelmed. The visuals and explanations of the brain and how the relevant areas interact (or not!) were great & the practical healing process makes sense. I look forward to exploring some more of the resources on the website. It was good to learn about the Polyvagal theory and the relevant aspects. I've been researching some of S. Porges work along with others who have taken this into a therapeutic arena & find it fascinating.” Yvonne W., Equine-Assisted Therapist

"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, (13/6/20)

"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. (19/6/20)

"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 (20/6/20)

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 (20/6/20)

"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 (20/6/20)

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 (13/6/20)

"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., (13/6/20)

"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 (19/6/20)

"Really great – pitched perfectly with lots of the supporting science. Loved your metaphors which make recall much easier. Thank you." Emma F., Student Counsellor (19/6/20)
