When you help someone to heal from trauma, they are not the only one who benefits.
Healing is like throwing a pebble into a pond. It sends ripples out in all directions.
Which is why, as the 2012 Trauma Therapy Series draws to a close, I can’t help but feel grateful…
Over 7,938 practitioners, according to Google Analytics, from 60 countries took time out of their day to tune in to the 2012 Trauma Therapy series – they went above and beyond the limits of traditional therapy to learn the newest, most effective ways to treat trauma.
These new therapies bring change and inspiration to patients who have spent years suffering from trauma.
Together, we are making a difference.
I’ve asked the tech team to report in on all of the countries represented in the series. Here they are, (again, according to Google Analytics):
| Argentina Australia Austria Bangladesh Belgium Brazil Bulgaria Canada Chile China Colombia Cook Islands Croatia Czech Republic Denmark Dominican Republic Ecuador Egypt El Salvador Estonia |
Finland France Germany Greece Hungary Iceland India Indonesia Ireland Israel Italy Jamacia Japan Jordan Lebanon Mexico Namibia Netherlands Netherlands Antilles New Zealand |
Norway Poland Portugal Puerto Rico Russia Serbia Singapore Slovenia South Africa Spain Sweden Switzerland Thailand Trinidad and Tobago Turkey Ukraine United Arab Emirates United Kingdom United States Uruguay |
That’s 60 different countries listed above. A total of 7,938 practitioners will be using new methods of trauma therapy to target their treatments and get faster, more effective results.
The more we know about the treatment of trauma, the better prepared we are to help our patients rediscover joy, find new hope – and take their lives back.
So, from all of us at NICABM, I want to say thank you for being a part of the series.

Did you take part in the series? What was the biggest thing you took away from the webinars? Please leave a comment below and let us know.
I have watched and will study again and again the transcripts. I am a survivor, in treament, seeking knowledge on how else I can help myself and friends with trauma. Any ideas on speeding up the healing process that as clients we can do? Thank you.
The Trauma Therapy Series was amazing! There are so many Gems that are instantly useable within one’s Practice. There was an edifying amount of confirmation for techniques that I have been using for some time. And some very exciting new information that I will be following up on over the next few months. The collaborative efforts of many, can only enhance the Healing experience of our Clients. The Ripple Effect is astounding! Thank you all very much for the invaluable work that you do!
I found the series exceptionally relevant to my tasks here, specializing in the Older Persons response to trauma and vicarious suffering.
Key learnings for me included the neuro-biology of trauma, impacts on the CNS and associated body systems, differential diagnosis of comordities, and specially those area that faciliated my improving face-to-face clinical outcomes.
The series also tied in nicely with our attempts here in Australia to de-toxify the mental health diagnosis, publically normalize the distress of trauma reactions, and more importantly introduce an alternative and complimentary approach to symptom management.
I’m a better clinician for attending the series. Thank you.
Though I have not taken part in your trauma series, I love the wealth of info you share that is so easily available as a resource to enhance our knowledge, both personal and professional. As a Licensed Massage Therapist & Certified Trager Practitioner/Tutor/Intro Workshop Leader in Florida, I see lots of clients in chronic/habitual patters of pain seeking relief of any kind. Tragerwork and mindful movement education helps these clients immensely, especially when they practice some of the selfcare principles we share with them. I’m happy to know you’re there supporting what is needed to continue to enhance our knowledge base so we can continue helping the world heal.
sincerely,

Congratulations, Ruth, and THANK YOU for bringing attention to this very important subject.
“A Course In Miracles” says that “All healing is essentially the release from fear”, so trauma therapy is indeed the kingpin in the healing process.
Great seminar. Gained a lot of new information that will be very helpful in working with my patients.
Bought a number of books written by the presenters to continue my studies. Good Job folks!
I reconciled, a while ago, the fact that I have three dfeierfnt lives I need to dress for. I have a business professional side, a grad student side, and the artist/goth side. It’s nearly impossible to have one wardrobe that transcends the three, so I don’t bother any more. Yeah, I could kill a category, or get rid of things when I’m not spending a lot of time in, say, a business professional environment but clothes are expensive, and I decided I’d rather buy well-made and timeless pieces that will last than continually have to shell out money whenever I make a serious time transition between clothing styles (ie more time in a business professional environment than grad school office, etc).
This was a wonderful series. It really showed the possibilities of bringing new knowledge to our work and to many populations. I think of the fantastic & appropriate imaging,words and sound that was developed for returning soldiers, and the crossover help for schools dealing with trauma. Why not imaging for senior residential homes, where moving to that phase of life includes so much change and trauma. And the Polyvagal Theory-fascinating. Your questions, Ruth, and attitude in interviewing were a joy to be part of. Thank you so much.
Dear Ruth Buczynski:
Thank you for the work and the awareness to others that you have done. I am asking you to check out something that is in alignment with your work. Having been and still working in the present Health System I am with great Joy sharing the work Dr. Bradley Nelson has brought to the awareness of the world. Many times I have writen to you and would love to directly talk with you. God has given me the project of research with The Emotion Code and bene4fiting Veteran’s in connection with PTSD and Pain. Over the last number of years I have been blessed to see the benefits and told to do the research. My name is Ruth Kent 828-298-2718.
Be Well and Be Blessed,
Gratefully,
Ruth Kent
Thank you for this series. Excellent presenters! As you plan your next
steps, if you going to be addressing modalities that are highly effective
with trauma, might I turn your attention to Diana Fosha’s AEDP –
Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy. Incredible! She
is based in NYC so you on the east coast have easier access to AEDP than
we do in New Mexico. However, we are bringing Dr. Fosha to Santa Fe this
September for a workshop entitled: Transcending Trauma: Neuroplacticity
and the Healing of Attachment. See AEDP’s website
for all the details. THanks for all your excellent work, Ruth…Leonora Lorenzo, Santa Fe, NM
Ruth, it is we 7,938 practitioners who are most grateful! We are the beneficiaries of your dedication, hard work and skillful interviewing of the outstanding presenters. Thank you. One take away for me was from Sue Johnson’s presentation on How Trauma Affects Intimate Relationships and of course, how intimate relationships can heal trauma.
I was able to attend only the Porges presentation. The highlight for me was getting polyvagal theory in “earth language.”
