Description

Addressing traumatic memories directly is critical to successful therapy.

But there’s tremendous misunderstanding in how to work with traumatic memories in treatment. It can leave you confused, insecure, and seeking a deeper understanding of memory systems to help guide your important work.

Peter Levine, PhD is a master therapist, pioneer in the field of trauma and memory, and author of several seminal books on trauma. His body-oriented techniques for healing traumatic memories are built upon 50 years of research and clinical work and have influenced generations of therapists.

This recording is your chance to learn from Dr. Levine himself!

Dr. Levine explains the significance of memory systems in the resolution of trauma, and shares the therapeutic approaches that he’s found most effective during his decades of groundbreaking clinical work. His proven strategies will help you to quickly reduce symptomology in your clients and heal the traumatic memories that haunt them. Under Dr. Levine’s expert guidance you’ll discover how you can take your treatment of complex, deeply entrenched trauma to the next level and overcome the painful roadblocks that can frustrate you and your clients.

You don’t want to miss this rare opportunity to study directly under Dr. Levine and learn from a legend in our field!

Maren C

"I was really bummed when I attended the pre-recorded training and the slides often did not match what he was reviewing. The material was also more of case studies than truly learning about trauma and the biological response. I would have like to learn more about the brain as well as how this presents in adults. There seemed to be a lot of focus on children which was not mentioned in the flyer. "
