Who is this for?
The TRC is for counsellors, therapists and other mental health professionals working with complex trauma survivors, as well as counselling students in training.
It’s for you if:
- you’re looking for high-quality, relevant, applicable training on trauma and associated subjects
- you want to be supported in your work and have a place to belong
- you’d like access to a range of free resources to download and use with clients
- you want bespoke guidance on how to work safely, ethically and effectively
- with clients with a history of complex trauma – without either retraumatising your clients, or becoming traumatised yourself
you’d like to join a community of like-minded professionals supporting each other in this vital and challenging work.
Why the Trauma Recovery Community?
Because working with complex trauma requires a blend of knowledge, skills and support.
For over a decade I’ve worked one-to-one with trauma therapists all over the world, many of whom have faced similar challenges: profound stuckness in the work, serious pressures on holding the therapeutic frame, and secondary trauma. I’ve been struck at how so many have fallen into the same pitfalls, faced the same challenges, and made the same mistakes. What happened to one has happened to almost all of them. And what they all said was that they wished they had had support, training and input earlier.
The Trauma Recovery Community (TRC) is going to provide that support and training. It’s going to be a network and community of trauma-focused professionals where we take the training to a deeper level (implementing it, not just ‘knowing’ it), provide support for one another, and really dig deep into how best to help people recover from trauma in a way that is ethical, effective, and safe for all involved.
What can you expect from the Community?
We’ll do this by delivering trauma training that blends the latest neuroscience research and the latest clinical literature with the direct experience of the survivor.
We’ll help you understand what trauma is, how it affects the brain and body, why we get stuck in it, and what to actually do to recover from it.
We’ll also look at the pitfalls of working with trauma, how it impacts upon and is impacted by attachment dynamics, as well as specialist subjects such as sexual assault, child sexual abuse, suicide and self-harm, dissociation, mental health, neurodiversity and much, much more.
Working with trauma can be incredibly lonely and isolating. This Community will therefore provide the professional and peer support and connection that is needed to weather the storm of trauma work so that you can stay regulated and in the green zone, whilst learning from others and in turn supporting others.
In healing from trauma, we need the support and connection of other human beings – this Community will aim to provide that (with your help!)
It will be a place that’s compassionate, curious and caring, and focused on reversing adversity in the lives of your clients.
