Dr. Bessel van der Kolk’s Intensive Trauma Treatment Course – Alexander McFarlane , Ed Tronick , Rachel Yehuda , Stephen Porges , Stephen J Suomi & Vincent Felitti

In this transformational 6-week course, Dr. van der Kolk will give you a new understanding of the neuroscience of traumatic stress and the research demonstrating the efficacy of mind-body treatment approaches.

He will detail the benefits of numerous treatment modalities including neurofeedback, EMDR, meditation, yoga, mindfulness, and sensory integration methods such as dance and movement.

You’ll learn for whom each method works, why it works, how often it works, and how well it works — based on both Dr. van der Kolk’s own research and that of other leading trauma experts.

Through intriguing videos, case studies, and his masterful explanation, you will learn how to help clients reclaim their voices, their bodies, and their lives.

Plus, Dr. van der Kolk personally selected five renowned experts in the field of trauma to share their insight on traumatic stress — professionals and colleagues who over the years have brought a deeper understanding of this field to him — and now to us.
