Trauma therapy training course

site search by freefind

This in-depth comprehensive course (about 140-150 hours depending on class size) teaches how to diagnose all of our trauma types and subcellular cases and their underlying biology. The students are also taught (and practice) the techniques to permanently heal a trauma and most subcellular case as well. (Some exceptions include clinic processes and some cases that we have not developed a treatment for yet.) The course emphasizes training sessions with actual clients to get practical experience and to become comfortable with using these new trauma and psychobiology techniques.

Who is this course for?
This course is designed for therapists or physicians who are seeing clients. This course is also useful for biologists who are interested in understanding the biological basis of our treatments for specific diseases. Others are welcome with instructor permission to make sure the course is appropriate for them (e.g. to see if they have enough experience with trauma therapies, realize how much time is spent working with clients, etc.)

Note that there will be experiential sessions in the training that can involve emotionally difficult experiences. To give potential students an understanding of what class will be like, we require potential students to have had a session with a therapist who uses these techniques before starting the training.
