Clinical Intensive

The 8-Week Intensive for Trauma Therapists Ready to Stop Referring Out When Things Get Complex
 

Finally—Know Exactly What to Do When Your Trauma Client Says "I've Been Drinking to Cope"
 

You're an excellent trauma therapist. Your clients trust you with their deepest wounds.
 

But when they reveal they're using substances to manage their trauma symptoms, everything changes.
 

That confident clinical presence? Gone.
That treatment plan you were following? Suddenly feels dangerous.

That therapeutic relationship you've built? Now you're wondering if you should refer out.
 

You're not alone. 75% of trauma clients use substances to cope—yet most trauma therapists were never trained for this intersection.

The Journey From Panic to Mastery
 

  • Begin your evolution with a Clinical Confidence Assessment to pinpoint the specific substance-use behaviors that challenge your practice. You will be introduced to your intimate cohort of fellow practitioners, building a foundation for collective growth.
     

  • You'll join our private cohort community and introduce yourself to other trauma therapists on this journey with you.
