Advanced Practical Clinical Skills for the Trauma-Informed Therapist



You can help meet the demand for mental health professionals with expertise in providing trauma therapy

You’ve attended numerous “Trauma101” trainings – you know the basics. Now it’s time for the next level. Attend this seminar to both learn (and hone) the advanced clinical skills you need to move your clients toward sustained emotional safety and regulation. Learn practical skills to increase distress tolerance, deactivate memory triggers, and reduce fight, flight or freeze reactions in your clients.

Isn’t it time for you to stop feeling stuck, wondering what to do differently, and worrying that your clients are discouraged and sensing change is hopeless?

Think about your most challenging case--write down why it is so difficult and bring it with you. If the issue is case conceptualization, an inadequate therapeutic alliance, traumatic transference, or an incoherent client narrative of the trauma, then this recording will give you new ways of thinking and acting therapeutically.

Highlights of the training include:

  • Key neuropsychological principles of trauma therapy
  • Become better able to identify and understand therapeutic impasses and Learn new techniques to get unstuck
  • Know when the client is ready for processing traumatic memories
  • Learn how to slow down and track moment-to-moment with your clients

The need for clinicians with expertise in treating trauma has never been greater. Trauma treatment is evolving constantly. By attending this seminar you’ll be taking a step toward current, deeper knowledge, proficiency, and effectiveness as the clinician you have always aspired to be.

Lisa M - Richmond, Virginia

"In my 20 years of CEU attendance as a licensed clinical psychologist, this was the best seminar I have attended. I am knowledgeable about and present on this topic myself and participated via live webinar, and yet, Dr. Rosenzweig captured my attention the full time. I highly recommend this seminar."
