26 April, 2026 – Facilitating Effective Trauma Release – One Day Accredited CPD Workshop

CPD Event title: Facilitating Effective Trauma Release – One Day Accredited CPD Workshop

Brief Description Of Event:

  • What if you could confidently resolve even the most complex trauma — without fear of retraumatising your client?
  • What if you could stop clients relapsing or circling the same issue for months?
  • What if you could integrate a structured, safety-first trauma protocol into your existing modality — immediately?

Trauma is often the hidden driver behind stalled progress, emotional reactivity and recurring patterns.

When the emotional imprint is not fully resolved, the nervous system continues to trigger — regardless of how consciously motivated the client is.

This intensive one-day training gives you a clear, structured and clinically responsible framework for releasing trauma safely — including severe and long-standing presentations.

You will leave confident, competent and ready to apply it straight away.

 Why Trauma Work So Often Stalls:

Unresolved trauma remains neurologically active. It continues to fire until resolution occurs.

When it isn’t properly addressed:

  • Clients experience repeated setbacks
  • Solution-focused work loses depth
  • Therapy becomes longer than necessary
  • Triggers appear without warning

When you target the emotional root correctly, your existing modalities become significantly more effective.

This training shows you exactly how to do that — safely and systematically.

What You’ll Walk Away With

By the end of the day you will have:

 A structured, safety-first trauma release protocol
Confidence working with PTSD, phobias, Big T and little t trauma
Practical tools you can integrate immediately
A method to release multiple traumatic events efficiently
A simple self-regulation protocol for clients between sessions
6.5 hours accredited CPD
Ongoing free weekly support

This is practical, applied and integration-focused.

Learning Objectives: 

You will gain a clear understanding of:

  • The different types of trauma and how they present
  • A Polyvagal-informed understanding of trauma responses
  • What abreactions are — how to prevent them and manage them calmly if they occur
  • How to establish safety anchors that maintain client regulation
  • Why perceptual positions are critical when processing traumatic memory
  • The NLP Rewind protocol in detail — widely regarded as one of the safest approaches for severe trauma
  • Two additional powerful emotional release tools
  • How to release a series of traumatic events simultaneously (allowing decades of material to be processed efficiently and gently)
  • A simple, effective self-regulation technique your clients can use independently

You will practise the process and leave knowing how to apply it safely within your scope of practice.
