This training will be suitable for any clinicians, psychologists, therapists, counsellors, coaches, mental health professionals, well-being practitioners, and anyone working in the field of wellness and healing. You may already be experienced working with trauma and like to expand your skills and knowledge. Or, you may be someone who likes to either specialise in trauma work or develop some skills and understanding when it comes to trauma work, but don’t know where to start. Then this will be the training for you!
We are so proud and pleased to be able to offer a very unique trauma and attachment training here in the UK as a host agency. This training will be delivered by the well-reputed Attachment and Trauma Treatment Centre for Healing (ATTACH). It will be an embodied approach that will consider the neurological, physiological, biological, emotional and psychological impact of trauma, and when working with trauma healing. As far as we know, we have no certification training like this in the UK. It is Sharmi’s mission to shift the limited approaches we have in the UK when it comes to trauma therapy and we are so excited that Lori from Canada has agreed to offer this to us. This training will be offered online, which means it will be accessible to the global community (UK time zone).

The fields of attachment and trauma research and intervention are growing rapidly. It is apparent that this is an area all clinicians can benefit from training in as it crosses all sectors and populations in some manner. However, we know that it can be difficult to keep up with all of the readings and resources. As this is our area of specialization, let us share what we have learned through our literature and research reviews and what we have effectively put into practice with you in an engaging and practical manner. This comprehensive two-day training will provide insight into current trauma, attachment, and neuroscience research ensuring an understanding of critical information and best practice strategies for working with trauma. This training will also help you to enhance your clinical skills and learn how you can add trauma regulation and attachment healing strategies to your repertoire.
Day 2 will focus on putting it into practice. Through this Integrative Trauma and Attachment Treatment Model (ITATM) participants will learn how to make historical connections, engage in integrative trauma-specific treatment approaches, and promote resiliency and wellness. Participants will learn about phase-based treatment of complex trauma and review of best practice and evidence-based approaches will also be experienced.
