What makes this training different from other trauma-informed trainings?

 

  • It is based on a clinical work model developed from the thirty-year experience of the professionals at the Institute of Integrated Psychosomatics, working with psychological, psychosomatic and traumatic experience patients.

  • Addresses trauma in all its forms , including advanced studies and reasearch on the digital trauma that pervades all of our lives.

  • Each edition is updated with the latest scientific research

  • It values intuition and personal experiences , teaching how to interpret and use them effectively.

  • The course is limited in number to ensure that each participant receives the necessary support to adapt the trauma-informed approach to their own style.

  • The complexity of trauma cannot be simplified. For this reason the training modules are highly interactive and laboratory-based

  • It facilitates the understanding of difficult concepts through individual and group exercises, and is supported by a tutor who actively accompanies participants in their understanding.
