How to Help Clients Reclaim What’s Been Lost to Trauma

In the moment of trauma, both brain and body quickly adapt to help us survive the event.

But later, these adaptations can sometimes do more harm than good.

For instance, the nervous system may get stuck and shut down or go into overdrive without a client’s awareness or conscious choice.

To help clients take back control of their brain and body, we’ve got to be able to teach them how to calm their nervous system.

In this short course, Ruth Lanius, MD, PhD will give you specific interventions to help your clients recover what’s been lost.
