Working with traumatic memories is one of the hardest parts of trauma therapy.
And no matter how skilled you are, these deep-seated memories can feel too overwhelming for clients to face, leaving them stuck in a cycle of dissociation, painful flashbacks, numbness, and avoidance.
That’s why I created this all-new Traumatic Memory Processing Workshop …
… to give you the exact tools you need to break that cycle, work with those memories and process them with clients in a way that feels both safe and empowering.
I’ll show you how to:
Break through dissociation and emotional numbness so clients can access and process memories that have long been out of reach
Reprocess traumatic memories without re-traumatizing using EMDR, Brainspotting, IFS Therapy and other top tools
Ground and calm the nervous system fast, helping clients find immediate relief from anxiety, panic, and emotional dysregulation
Release the body’s stored trauma with somatic techniques, allowing clients to feel safe in their bodies again and reconnect to the present moment
And much more!
By the end of this workshop, you’ll be equipped with practical, ready-to-use tools that will help you guide your clients through the most challenging and deeply ingrained trauma memories – no matter how stuck they seem right now.
