Complete this training program with a brand new toolkit of skills, interventions, and principles for rapid success with traumatized clients. Join Dr. Rhoton and learn the standard of care for treatment in the field of traumatic stress – and its key ingredients. Implement evidence-based treatment protocols and interventions for establishing safety, desensitizing and reprocessing trauma memories, metabolizing and resolving grief/loss and finally, assisting clients in reconnecting to lives full of hope, connection and achievement.

Dr. Rhoton has a mission in his professional life to improve the quality of people’s lives, and increase the likelihood that individuals and families will get more satisfaction out of their primary relationships. To this end he has dedicated the last 20 years to understanding and treating physical, emotional and psychological trauma. Repeatedly he has seen the impact on people who adapt to their experience in such devastating ways, often shattering their sense of security, making them feel helpless and vulnerable in a dangerous world. This workshop will help you address those symptomatic and painful adaptations that people make which are interfering with their lives and families.
