Releasing the Pain of Relational Trauma with Frank Anderson
Some clients don't want to forgive their abusers, even after they've severed all ties. Others hold onto anger and resentment but stay in unhealthy relationships. In this session, Frank explores different dimensions of forgiveness so that you can help guide your clients toward true acceptance and freedom. You'll discover how to help clients:
  • Release the wounds that another has caused, so they're freed to no longer carry the trauma inside
  • Heal and name their internal wounds by learning to speak up for what they know to be true
  • Determine whether forgiveness may be helpful for them to fully heal from relational violations
Somatic Therapy for Childhood Wounds with Janina Fisher
The loss of a safe and loving childhood may not be an obvious one, but therapists know the cost to their clients when it's not acknowledged. When left unprocessed, the intense pain of grief often leads to anger, either towards their attachment figures or themselves. In this session, you'll discover Janina Fisher's mindfulness-based somatic approach that:
  • Uses the body to achieve the optimal levels of sadness needed to process grief
  • Increases our clients' ability to not only tolerate grief but befriend it in order to live at peace with losses from childhood
  • Diminishes the effects of isolation and loneliness in the past and present

Frequently Asked Questions

A "masterclass" refers to training given by someone with expert-level knowledge and skill in a particular area. In the case of this specific training, what you'll get that's different from many other courses is seeing Dr. Frank Anderson and Dr. Janina Fisher not only showcasing their real-client sessions but also pausing to talk about what was going through their minds. From this type of in-depth training, you'll pick up practical clinical insights, learn various techniques for client problems, see how to manage missteps in session, and much more.

Learning from a masterclass is a true game-changer for many therapists!

If you can't be in the therapy room with a highly skilled practitioner, the next best thing is learning from their recorded sessions. Since the beginning of psychotherapy, clinicians have learned through demonstrations, and "observation hours" have continued to be required training in most graduate programs. Learning from in-session demonstrations helps clinicians, across the entirety of their careers, learn to pivot during sessions, explore new ways of asking questions, repair therapeutic missteps, and see new avenues for using key techniques.

Not only that, but most therapists also find that this type of learning reinvigorates their sense of passion for providing the highest standard of therapy!

This course is for mental health professionals who want in-depth training and knowledge from outstanding voices in psychotherapy. Whether you are new in your career or a distinguished practitioner, this training will provide clinical insights and modality-focused training in IFS Therapy, Somatic, Polyvagal, and Parts Work approaches, and you'll see exactly how these approaches can complement one another.

Immediately when you register, you'll have unlimited access to all on-demand video content, slides, and all other course materials and resources!
