  • 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.
