Working With Complex Trauma: Innovative Approaches for Restoring Mind-Body Integration

Offered by The Academy of Therapy Wisdom - A CPA Affiliate Partner

October 4 at 9am MDT

A LIVE 3-hour course with Bessel van der Kolk, M.D. – a true luminary in the field of trauma therapy. Bessel’s groundbreaking research and pioneering therapeutic approaches have transformed countless lives. And YOU get to learn from him LIVE.

Bessel changed how we look at trauma by issuing decades of research supporting his once-controversial thesis that traumatic memories are not ordinary memories: they are not narrative (in the mind), they are in the body.

This course is your chance to learn how his original thesis has deepened and evolved and to benefit from the years of insight and reflection he has to share.

“I am grateful to have had the opportunity to learn directly from a pioneer and expert in the field. I came away with knowledge, examples, and tools to use in my personal practice. I will certainly continue to learn more from Dr. Van der Kolk.”

Take a Look at Everything That’s Included….…

• The Essence of a Lifetime: This course distills Bessel's life work into a profound narrative. It's not just factoids; it's understanding the heart and soul behind his teachings.

• Live Interaction: You'll have the opportunity to engage with him directly so that you can ask questions, share your ‘aha’s, and gain personal perspectives that transcend the written word.

• Exclusive Content: This course offers unique content not available elsewhere. Plus, enjoy two follow-up sessions with Linda Thai, Bessel’s teaching assistant, ensuring you get the most out of this teaching.

• Lasting Impact: Bessel's work has touched lives around the world. Learning from him equips you to make a lasting impact on your clients, integrating his timeless wisdom into your practice.
