About this course
From Survival to Safety. From Fragmentation to Wholeness.
Trauma is not stored in memory alone. Trauma lives in the nervous system, the body, and the meanings we carry about ourselves and the world.
Healing does not happen by insight alone. Healing happens when the nervous system experiences safety, the mind experiences compassion, and the person reconnects with agency, dignity, and meaning.
This seminar teaches clinicians how to reprocess trauma without re-traumatization by integrating:
• Polyvagal-informed nervous system regulation
• Compassion-Focused Trauma Reprocessing
• The SWEET Four Layers of Transformation
• The SWEET Body–Mind–Meaning Framework
This is not about coping better.
This is about restoring the capacity to feel safe being alive.
