Summary
In this FREE, 90-Minute Live Training, we’ll explore…
1. Understand How Trauma Organizes the Nervous System
Trauma reshapes regulation, reactivity, and threat response at a biological level. You’ll gain a clearer understanding of how the brain and body organize around protection, and how this impacts emotional patterns, identity, and behavior. Learn how to apply neuroscience-informed principles to support regulation and stability in your clinical work.
2. Work Skillfully with Protective Patterns
Protective strategies develop for good reasons. You’ll explore how parts-informed psychotherapy helps you recognize why these patterns persist and how to engage them with precision and respect. Instead of pushing against defenses, you’ll learn how to work with them to support deeper internal integration.
3. Strengthen Agency and Forward Movement
Healing does not end with awareness. Drawing from coaching principles, Dr. Anderson will show how to support client leadership, momentum, and sustainable change without overwhelming the nervous system. Learn practical tools for guiding clients toward meaningful action and lasting transformation.
See How an Integrative Approach Translates Into Real-World Clinical Change
