The way we understand how trauma affects the brain and body has changed a lot in the last several years . . .

. . . and that has given us new strategies to help our clients heal.

We now have deeper insights into the nature of trauma that simply didn’t exist, even a short time ago.

You see, when we look back, there are a lot of things about the treatment of trauma that seemed intuitive to us but we had no science to back them up.

In addition, there were other things that felt intuitive, but that turned out just not to be true.

But now, we have that science . . .

Researchers studying trauma can now show what actually happens – in the brain and in our nervous system – during and after a traumatic event.

And understanding the role of the brain and nervous system can bring depth and power to our interventions.

It allows us to resource our clients with skills to stabilize, ground, and short-circuit old patterns of reactivity.

Using what we’re now learning can help our clients calm their nervous system, process traumatic memories, and start to practice the essential skill of self-regulation.

And when we’re able to help clients rewire the trauma response and foster healthier integration, it can have a profound effect on healing.

Trauma is complicated and nuanced. But promising clinical research and evidence-backed strategies can lead our practice in new directions.

That’s why we’ve developed an advanced program that gathers all the latest information on the treatment of trauma . . .

. . . and we’re calling all practitioners, all over the world, to join us over the next week as we focus on the latest findings on trauma and its treatment.

. . . 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

. . . stimulating in ways I have not experienced in many live seminars

“The content of the webinars and transcripts have been intellectually and professionally stimulating in ways that I have not experienced in many live seminars. I am excited to learn more about the treatment methods recommended by the presenters.”

Karen Fox, PhD, Clinical Psychologist
San Diego, CA

I do really like the talkback as a way to wind down and 'land.'

“The NICABM Trauma Series have helped me to feel a closer connection to some of my heroes in the field. It’s nice to be able to bring them into my study, and to feel inspired and re-dedicated through their words. And I do really like the talkback as a way to wind down and ‘land.'”

Harry Zeit, MD, Physician Psychotherapist

successful practitioner learning to treat trauma

We know what it takes for practitioners to succeed. We’ve had countless practitioners improve their skills and deliver results with their patients.

What separates successful practitioners from the rest? They:

Put effort into continually learning

Choose to build new skills and gain confidence

Choose the experts at the forefront to study

Tune in and update their skills on a regular basis

Your colleagues are already benefiting from our 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

The material covered has . . . fully supported my purpose, enhancing my knowledge of the theories behind the actions taken.

“I am a soldier, who works with other soldiers and their families (The PTSD Retreat), in reference to PTSD. We, as soldiers, are all taught the very basics of PTSD, in what we call “death-by-PowerPoint,” but it never goes beyond this. Indeed, it is repeated over and over, without change, and it rarely if ever gets to the families. The material covered in here has fully supported my purpose, enhancing my knowledge of the theories behind the actions taken. I am so grateful to have been able to follow this series and look forward to furthering my education with this entity. Thank you”

D. Nicole Johnson, Drug and Alcohol Counselor
Starr Founder, The PTSD Retreat

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”

  • Some people simply learn better by reading than by listening or watching
  • You will be able to print out and share techniques presented in the modules with your patients

Angela Lawrence

They’ll share how they use the latest approaches to the treatment of trauma to help their clients change in ways they never expected – and how you can do the same.

Trauma can be devastating, and its impact is far-reaching.

Because of this, we are never satisfied by the status quo. We are passionate about finding the most effective and innovative approaches for getting deeper and more rapid ways to reduce suffering and help clients find their footing once again.

We search out the most creative practitioners who have developed extraordinary methods for getting results

It doesn’t matter if they are well known or totally unknown. What matters is that they have an exceptional approach that is a cut above the rest.

And when we find them, we home in on exactly what it is they are doing that makes such a remarkable difference so that we can teach other practitioners how to get the same results with their patients.

If you are the kind of practitioner who also has a burning desire to find the best ways to help clients, who will go way beyond expectations to be the best that you can possibly be, come join us as we identify what it is that makes these innovative thinkers so successful in their work.
