The terrifying stress of traffic stops. Violent and unjust deaths televised on 24-hour loops. Walking into a store and being followed by a clerk. Race-based stressors can leave BIPOC clients overwhelmed with fear, anxiety, hopelessness, and emotional exhaustion.

And today we're seeing an unprecedented spike in the number of BIPOC clients seeking therapy to help them manage the trauma, raw pain, and emotional burden of these experiences.

As a therapist, being just "culturally competent" isn't nearly enough.

You need refined knowledge and skills that most clinicians were never taught. Without them, you'll fail to move clients facing the distress of daily assaults on their dignity toward greater hope and healing.

That's why we're bringing you our new Advanced Racial Trauma Treatment course, so you can go beyond cultural competency...

...and get the clinical framework and tools you need to assess for racial trauma and expertly treat it with interventions from ACT, CBT, Polyvagal Theory and more.

Whether you're already seeing BIPOC clients in your practice, or know you will be, this course gives you dozens of fill-in-the-blank scripts, including useful talking points to get through a triggering session...

...and up to 18.5 CE Hours, including up to 3.0 Cultural Competency Hours & up to 4.0 Ethics Hours at no additional cost to you.

Deactivating the Polyvagal Response to Racial Trauma
with Candice Dickens, LCPC-S, LCADC-S, CCTP, MAC

Polyvagal Theory for complex racial trauma offers a profound method for developing a connection to resolve trauma that can transform your clients' minds, bodies, and your practice.

Learn how applying the Polyvagal response to racial trauma can:

• Help BIPOC clients process intergenerational and legacy trauma
• Develop new neurological connections to change old patterns
• Decrease reaction to triggering stimuli related to race
• Teach you to receive your client as they are, enriching your dyadic attunement

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.
