Trauma Training
The value of doing trauma work from the perspective of inner selves and their energies is immense. You will learn to see every aspect of trauma work as a self—every emotion, every behavior, every dilemma—and you will learn to dialogue with these selves with tremendous depth.
You will learn to:
-
Facilitate selves that allow you to meet the Hurt Child, the self that holds the trauma.
-
Use the principle of opposites to reveal conflicts in trauma issues.
-
Meet unusual selves that are part of the trauma landscape.
-
Allow the traumatized body to express its anguish.
-
Apply this work to all types of trauma.
Who this training is for?
-
Professionals who want to integrate this approach into their current practice
-
Other professionals, students, and interested persons who want to understand trauma better, from a Voice Dialogue perspective
-
Individuals on their own trauma journey who want to gain insight through the lens of selves and energies. Please note: This training is not a way to fully process your own trauma; that would require individual attention.

The Selves of Memory
If someone senses that they experienced trauma, but they do not retain actual memories, there are selves that can help find the memory. After that, you will meet the self that believes the memory, and the self that doubts it, and hold both sides of the question.
