When clients have experienced trauma, their intimate relationships are often the areas that suffer the most.
Suddenly acts of affection that used to be enjoyable, like closeness and touch, now feel dangerous and life-threatening.
As therapists, it’s up to us to help partners overcome trauma, so they can experience the excitement and security that these relationships are meant to provide.
But it’s incredibly challenging to guide clients who’ve been hurt so deeply to have the trust and vulnerability that intimate relationships require.
That’s why I developed this free training that will fully prepare you with the specialized skills you need to help trauma clients heal and rebuild trust.
Drawing from decades of clinical work and interventions from today's most powerful approaches (including Gottman Method, IFS Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy, and more ) …
… this unique and completely free training will equip you to effectively work with today’s most important relationship topics, including:
- The complex relationship between trauma and pleasure
- These key factors for successful trauma recovery
- Body-based approaches for healing the impact of trauma on sex and intimacy
- Why art expression is a critical component of overcoming trauma
- The IRT three-stage framework to trauma recovery
- And much more!
Plus, you’ll get access to free handouts that outline the exact steps and dialogue to use with both partners in relationships where there has been trauma.
You’ll walk away from this training with a clear roadmap to treat trauma that occurs within relationships, so you never have to feel anxious or unprepared again!
I look forward to you joining me.
