Description

Good intentions are not enough to heal generational wounds incurred by racial trauma and decades of systematic racism.

It requires refined knowledge and skills that many clinicians were never taught.

That’s why we’re bringing you a brand-new approach to treatment!

Polyvagal theory for complex racial trauma offers a profound method for developing connection with clients to resolve trauma. Targeting the vagus nerve, polyvagal response deactivation interventions soothe the nervous systems of both you and the client. Through this interactive co-regulating process you will transform your clients’ minds, bodies, and your practice.

Get ready for an incredibly impactful one-day training with Candice Dickens, LPC. With 30 years of experience as a clinician, she specializes in trauma-based care and the intersection of race, ethnicity and other cultural factors. Candice shares with you a moving experience of learning to lead clients through processing their own complex trauma related to race, childhood experiences, and more - while also deepening your understanding of your own nervous system reactions in session.

In this online training you’ll learn how to receive the client as they are, enriching your dyadic attunement. The unique application of polyvagal response to racial trauma encourages:

  • Processing of intergenerational and legacy trauma
  • Growth of new neurological connections changing old patterns
  • Decreased reaction to triggering stimuli related to race seen on media and other places
  • And much more!

Don’t wait, learn how to help clients resolve complex racial trauma symptoms today in this one-of-a-kind training!
