Training Takeaways

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

  • Explain trauma and toxic stress as biological and neurological processes, including how prolonged stress impacts the autonomic nervous system, hormonal systems, and long-term regulation

  • Differentiate stress, acute trauma, chronic trauma, complex trauma, vicarious trauma, moral wounding, and intergenerational trauma, and recognize how each presents clinically

  • Identify trauma-related somatic and psychosomatic patterns, including dissociation, nervous system reactivity, and the body’s role in storing traumatic memory

  • Apply stabilization, interoception, and self-regulation frameworks as essential foundations for trauma treatment, rather than optional or preparatory skills

  • Integrate NeuroAffective Coherence and a salutogenic model of care, shifting clinical work from symptom reduction toward coherence, resilience, and meaning making

  • Work with trauma narratives using deconstruction rather than activation, supporting insight and integration without overwhelming the nervous system or reinforcing threat responses

Great course

Rose Faquir

I am an experience trauma therapist yet I still find there's a lot to learn here because the trainer made it more understandable in a layman terms.
