If you’re a practitioner who strives to stay on the leading edge of trauma-informed treatment, it might seem like you’re hearing about a new training every day.
With so many trainings to choose from, what makes this program one that you should invest your time in?
In this program, we’re going to dig into critical issues in trauma therapy that other trainings don’t address in much depth (if at all).
We’ll get into how to work with the steep cost of the unlived life – a price many patients pay after they’ve experienced, and even begun to heal from trauma.
We’ve also gained new insight into how childhood neglect impacts executive function later in life (and what that means for treatment).
What researchers have found can reshape how we conceptualize cases and how we target our interventions
We’re also understanding more about the nature – and the anguish – of moral injury, and how treating it can differ from treating PTSD in crucial ways.
And finally, we’ve all been hearing a lot about psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy. Even if you don’t ever plan to practice it, there’s a good chance you’ll have a patient ask you about it.
We’ll get into the open questions we still have about safety, efficacy, and scalability, and about who this treatment works best for.
The latest clinical research and evidence-backed strategies can help you achieve better outcomes, more quickly in the treatment of trauma.
We’re calling all practitioners, all over the world, to join us for the next five weeks as we dive deep into high-impact treatment strategies that can transform your approach with patients who have experienced trauma.

This is NOT a Summit – here’s what we mean
We believe your time is precious.
So for this program, we’ve developed 5 tightly-planned modules. In each module, we take a topic that is less talked about in trauma treatment and we do a deep dive on it:
- helping patients regain a sense of aliveness after trauma
- treating the invisible wounds of neglect
- working with moral injury
- psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy
- treating the scars of abandonment
In each and every session, you’ll hear from several leading trauma experts on a specific topic – experts like Bessel van der Kolk, MD; Judith Herman, MD; Janina Fisher, PhD; Pat Ogden, PhD; Ruth Lanius, MD, PhD; Dick Schwartz, PhD; Karlen Lyons-Ruth, PhD; Rachel Yehuda, PhD; Rick Doblin, PhD.
Throughout this program, we’ve focused in on ideas that aren’t being talked about in much depth in other training programs.
And just to be clear, it’s not that new ideas are necessarily better than old ones, but…
We take it as our mission to bring you ideas you are less likely to already have in your toolkit.
We do this because we think it will help you be your best and get better outcomes, more quickly.
