Thank you to all experts. I am not a practitioner, I am a client. This is powerful, sometimes daunting, sometimes optimistic, sometimes overwhelming information. I am grateful for all the work being done, and communicated, so thoughtfully and comprehensively. I will share with the professionals in my life.
Carol Clarke, Student, CA says
I am not a practicing professional, though I am a volunteer host and moderate a forum for CPTSD survivors. This series has been excellent in helping me with current healing strategies and information on how survivors may present. It allows for more compassion and insight, for myself and others, for which I am deeply grateful. Thank you.
Trish Mancer, Counseling, NZ says
So many gold nuggets here! Learning more around the different types of memories was particularly interesting for me along with the very useful ideas of working with clients with flashbacks.
Cova Orejas, Clergy, ES says

Tanya Rodri, Counseling, AU says
I’ve learnt so much. Thank you. I was really interested in Ruth’s comment on ‘self-loathing’. Would love to explore more on how to work with this aspect.
Helene van Gorsel, Other, NL says
These are helpful topics to learn about. Luckily the field is gradually moving away from talk therapy and toward somatic treatments for trauma. Although there’s still a long way to go.
In terms of format of the talk I found it quite ADHD-like to continually switch between an expert explaining something and the presenter commenting without letting the expert finish what they are saying. It would be much easier to follow and commit to memory to let someone explain without continuous interuption.
Shannon Lightfoot, Counseling, AU says
Best takeaway: Flashbacks (emotional) used as a way to punish self. My thanks to Ruth Lanius.
Izzy Micheo, Coach, GT says
THANK YOU so much to everyone that dedicates themselves to help people that suffer from trauma. Thank you so much to the people with the GOLD SUBSCRIPTION. That enables many who cannot afford it at the moment be able to tune in to these helpful lessons & materials, and want to subscribe to NICABM to learn more, and be able to give back in the future. Getting unstuck from the trauma prison will unleash so many talents, and enable people to focus and access purpose & drive to share those talents with the world. Much Love to you for putting this professional webinar together.
Amy Connor, Other, Austin, TX, USA says
I so appreciated this session, even though (sadly) I missed the first portion. I am not a clinitian, but I do a form of integretive work that is calming. This session spoke to my own history of trauma. As an infant and young person. Perhaps there are others like me, who have a strong biographical memorya of traum. Mine starts from about 8 or 9 months old. That doesn’t exclude trauma that may have slipped past conscious memory. I found the 4 techniques for transforming the threat bias were very helpful, as well as the discussion regarding flashbacks and pacing. I like the idea of a ‘grounding kit’ as well as prioritizing safety as essential prior to attempts to integrate traumatic memory. I greatly appreciate NICABM’s work to share these ideas/strategies/ and newer ways of treating and perceiving trauma. Thank you

To help rest nervous system, under hypnotic trance, I have entered into a non mind memory state, but the body remembered, and the releasing was through shaking, various areas, various ways, all spontaneous and no thinking attached, just observation and allowance.
it took many sessions, till the charge of negative past experiences became neutral.
This is another way of releasing.
I love the emphasis of the client feeling safe. and making the client resilient with positive past and current experiences and resources.
love this program.
thank you.
very valuable information being shared.
Ally Zins, Other, Columbus, OH, USA says
remember that flashbacks feel like the trauma is reoccurring in the present when it’s not and to get out of a flashback to use mindfulness and grounding. pay attention to the positives in the environment or positive memories and see what they are already doing to cope. pacing is important and safety must be established first. distress tolerance and meditation. loving kindness practices.
Aga H.Reiser, Psychology, NL says
Hopefully the usage of these techniques by me should come to light as soon as possible. 🙂 Im currently studying Psychology and I want to go into Psychotraumatology field. The direction will come out on the way, the reason is simple, here where I live its so hard to get proper assessment of your mental condition and Im sure many people get helped but so many from my environment are left out, either wrongly diagnosed or just waiting in a queue for help, too many of my friends or neighbours suffer from for example lack of integration. the treatment for depression doesnt seem to have affect on them or trauma lives within them. it triggered me to start this journey and help people more efficient.
Layla voll Collins, Psychology, DE says
The idea of pacing is so important. It is not our right to impose disclosures of trauma on clients who are not ready and perhaps don’t yet feel we have created a safe space for them to do so. Thank you for this very insightful and helpful training!
Gloria Fon, Psychotherapy, Modesto , CA, USA says
Thank you for this training. Knowledge on how the body/ brain retains trauma and how procedural memory can be a key to healing was eye opening. I will use this knowledge to be more aware and attuned to how this presents in my clients and use the strategies that were presented to help them identify and create new ones at their pace.
Natasha Nichols, Another Field, SE says
