Expert Strategies for Working with Traumatic Memory

Long after danger has passed, your clients may still live with trauma . . .

. . . which can leave clients feeling hypervigilant, dissociative, or numb for years to come.

So to help clients heal, we need to understand what makes traumatic memory so overwhelming, and the most effective ways to work with it.

Not only that, we need strategies so clients can “unlearn” maladaptive responses to trauma.

That’s why we created a course that focuses solely on how to work with traumatic memories.

Three of the world’s top experts will share how they treat clients who have experienced trauma. This program brings together their sharpest strategies for working with traumatic memory.

Here's What Your Peers Have Experienced In NICABM Programs

. . . instrumental in opening my mind and heart to understanding trauma.
“These seminars have been instrumental in opening my mind and heart to understanding trauma. They are brief and accessible and of such high quality that I’ve been able to glean real understanding and a starting point for further study. I can’t say enough about them. I have recommended them to so many of my colleagues and they say the same things I do about them. Thank you Ruth!”

Angela Lawrence, Drug and Alcohol Counselor
British Columbia, Canada

The material covered has . . . fully supported my purpose, enhancing my knowledge of the theories behind the actions taken.
“I am a soldier, who works with other soldiers and their families (The PTSD Retreat), in reference to PTSD. We, as soldiers, are all taught the very basics of PTSD, in what we call “death-by-PowerPoint,” but it never goes beyond this. Indeed, it is repeated over and over, without change, and it rarely if ever gets to the families. The material covered in here has fully supported my purpose, enhancing my knowledge of the theories behind the actions taken. I am so grateful to have been able to follow this series and look forward to furthering my education with this entity. Thank you”

D. Nicole Johnson, Drug and Alcohol Counselor
Starr Founder, The PTSD Retreat
 
. . . very cost effective and practical . . .
“These programs offer a broad spectrum of both information and specific guidelines with top experts in different fields of addressing human suffering. All in a very cost effective and practical way. Rather than thousands of dollars spent on the cost of conference I can learn in the comfort of my own home or office, on my own schedule. Certainly recommend any of these series to my colleagues.”

Ian Macnaughton, PhD, Psychotherapist
Vancouver, BC, Canada

Why the Transcript Is Essential:

• The transcript makes it easy to go back and double check concepts, citations and names that are mentioned
• We put in a table of contents to make it easy for you to find the exact part of the webinar you need
• Having the concepts already written allows you to take notes on how you’re going to use the ideas rather than transcribing the ideas
• Some people simply learn better by reading than by listening or watching
• You will be able to print out and share techniques presented in the session with your patients 

“I really liked being able to follow along with the transcripts as I listened…it was nice not to feel like I had to take notes. I really feel like I remember more when I both hear and see at the same time.”
