Join leading trauma experts Janina Fisher, Pam Stavropoulos, Manuela Mischke-Reeds, Dr Nitin Shukla, and more to discover how you can promote post-traumatic growth in your clients.

Growth is NOT a given outcome of trauma.

It emerges from the struggles of suffering, disorientation, questioning, meaning-making, and a desire for a better future.

For many, this life-changing journey through recovery and into growth requires professional support with the care and skill of a well-trained therapist like you.

It's a big responsibility that can feel overwhelmingly heavy and extraordinarily delicate all at once.

That's why we're offering this exciting online training where you can explore perspectives and interventions to help your clients:

  • Consistently move through trauma to growth and avoid getting stuck
  • Appreciate the strengths they found during traumatic moments
  • Understand their journey of self-discovery and resilience
  • Recognise the special strengths they now have as a trauma survivor
  • Create a more resilient and meaningful future
  • And much more!

Register today to get the skills and tools to confidently guide your clients to a meaningful, vibrant life after trauma.

WHAT YOU'LL FIND IN THIS COURSE

Tigers Running Wild: Recovering from a Time of Threat
Janina Fisher, PhD

As the pandemic nears its end, we must learn how to once again live in a world without threat.

In this session, you'll explore how to 'turn off' the survival responses that have become increasingly automatic and how to recover from the ordeal with which we have been living.
Collective Trauma: Practical Strategies for Working Somatically in Times of Change
Manuela Mischke-Reeds

As a mental health professional, you are being stretched to become innovative, resilient, and efficient in your approach to trauma treatment.

Get insight into how you can embrace the integration of somatic techniques, embodied mindfulness practices, and inclusive, co-regulating, restorative psychotherapy — so you can meet the multi-dimensional demands of trauma healing.
Tuning In and Zoning Out: Engaging Dissociation
Pam Stavropoulos, PhD

Dissociation symptoms can range from mild and benign to entrenched and severe, yet one thing remains constant: many clinicians do not know what dissociation looks like or how to assess it.

This session will discuss the importance of clinical attunement to dissociation, its core features, how symptoms manifest, and how attentiveness to dissociation can assist clients with varying symptoms.
Understanding the potential for Posttraumatic Growth (PTG)
Fiona Pienaar, PhD

To know where we are heading, we must first understand where we are coming from. In this session, you'll explore the theory, history, domains, and range of research on post-traumatic growth.
Post-Traumatic Growth: Bouncing forward after adversity
Renata Porzig-Drummond, PhD

Understanding the difference between resilience and post-traumatic growth is crucial to facilitate the strength-based post-traumatic growth process without minimising the damage trauma can cause.

In this session, you'll identify key components of post-traumatic growth, discuss strategies that help facilitate post-traumatic growth, and explore factors that help determine whether a client is open to a discussion about aspects of post-traumatic growth.
Five Areas Where Post-Traumatic Growth Manifests
Dr Nitin Shukla

Discover how to use a nuanced approach to promote respect for the difficulty of trauma recovery while allowing for the exploration of possibilities for various kinds of growth — even in those who have suffered greatly.
