Description

Watch renowned trauma expert and NY Times bestselling author, Bessel van der Kolk, MD, for this transformational intensive recording on the latest research and drug-free treatment techniques for your trauma clients.

Dr. van der Kolk will give you a new understanding of the neuroscience of traumatic stress and the research demonstrating the efficacy and possible limitations of mind-body treatment approaches. He will detail the benefits of neurofeedback, EMDR, meditation, yoga, mindfulness, and sensory integration methods such as dance and movement.

Through intriguing videos, case studies, and masterful explanation, you will learn how to give your clients:

  • A way to find words that describe what is going on
  • Ways to regulate their emotions
  • The ability to trust other human beings after the shameful and horrific details of their lives
  • The research on the latest tools to process traumatic memories
  • Transformation! – to be fully alive in the present, not stuck in the past

This is a “don’t miss” recording that is based on Dr. van der Kolk’s own research but also that of other leading specialists.

*Due to client confidentiality, client videos will not be provided with the recorded version of this course.

Trauma Research Foundation


Bessel A. van der Kolk, MD, is a clinician, researcher and teacher in the area of post-traumatic stress. His work integrates developmental, neurobiological, psychodynamic and interpersonal aspects of the impact of trauma and its treatment.

Dr. van der Kolk and his various collaborators have published extensively on the impact of trauma on development, such as dissociative problems, borderline personality and self-mutilation, cognitive development, memory, and the psychobiology of trauma. He has published over 150 peer-reviewed scientific articles on such diverse topics as neuroimaging, self-injury, memory, neurofeedback, Developmental Trauma, yoga, theater, and EMDR.

Dr. van der Kolk is the past president of the International Society for Traumatic Stress Studies, and professor of psychiatry at Boston University Medical School. He regularly teaches at conferences, universities, and hospitals around the world.
