NICABM – Working with Traumatic Memory

Expert Strategies for Working with Traumatic Memory

Long after danger has passed, the nervous system may still remember 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” the nervous system’s response to trauma.

That’s why we created a course that focuses solely on how to work with traumatic memories that get embedded in the nervous system.

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