Description

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.
