Unlock Healing for Trauma Patients with Compassion-Based Therapy
Working with trauma is some of the toughest work we do, both on us as practitioners and our patients.
But compassion-based therapies can enhance your interventions and support your clients through the difficult work of processing trauma.
Research suggests that compassion practice can act as a buffer against the harmful effects of trauma. It can help your client develop skills to approach traumatic memories without getting caught up in a threat response during your session.
Compassion practices can even equip your clients to repair ruptures following inadequate childhood attachment.
So how do we integrate compassion-oriented therapies into treatment and build a client’s capacity to process trauma?
We turned to the world’s leading experts in compassion-based therapy and asked them to share their best approaches for working with trauma.

Here's What Your Peers Have Experienced In NICABM Programs
. . . instrumental in opening my mind and heart to understanding trauma.
“These seminars have been instrumental in opening my mind and heart to understanding trauma. They are brief and accessible and of such high quality that I’ve been able to glean real understanding and a starting point for further study. I can’t say enough about them. I have recommended them to so many of my colleagues and they say the same things I do about them. Thank you Ruth!”
Angela Lawrence, Drug and Alcohol Counselor
British Columbia, Canada
. . . very cost effective and practical . . .
“These programs offer a broad spectrum of both information and specific guidelines with top experts in different fields of addressing human suffering. All in a very cost effective and practical way. Rather than thousands of dollars spent on the cost of conference I can learn in the comfort of my own home or office, on my own schedule. Certainly recommend any of these series to my colleagues.”
Ian Macnaughton, PhD, Psychotherapist
Vancouver, BC, Canada
My clients have been able to build their confidence. . .
“My clients have been able to build their confidence in their ability to self-regulate on their own in pretty difficult situations, including work and family of origin situations. Their success has then built their self-esteem as they can see that they can be successful in changing some fairly habitual ways of interacting and hurting themselves. It is a positive cycle that builds upon itself”
Nancy Lasater, MSW, LCSW
Boulder, CO
