Linda Curran – Treating Complex Trauma: Beyond Competency

Proof Content

You know that building the skills to treat trauma and complex PTSD takes ongoing dedication to the craft and science of therapy… Because trauma treatment is always evolving.

That’s why I’ve interviewed world-renowned trauma experts and collected their insights and in-session demonstrations in this all new online certification training course…

You’ll get insight into proven trauma processing modalities from the developers of these techniques. You’ll learn about:

Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapy from developer Dr. Richard Schwartz, and Dr. Frank Anderson, vice chair and director of the Foundation for Self Leadership

Discover what’s been done in the field of traumatic stress, new perspectives on the nature and experience of trauma, and gain a deeper understanding of trauma’s far-reaching psychological and physical consequences.

The demonstrations showing these experts’ skills in action help speed the learning and application of their proven processes to your own practice…

So you can adapt their experience to create theoretically sound principles that improve your clinical outcomes…

And help your clients find lasting relief from the anger, nightmares, shame, anxiety, depression, and other debilitating symptoms of trauma and complex PTSD.
