How to Help Traumatized Clients Move Out of “What Was” and into “What Can Be”

Practical Treatment Strategies to Foster Post-Traumatic Growth

Some clients emerge from trauma with a fragile grasp on their new world . . .

. . . while other clients experience a robust level of personal and spiritual growth that might never have happened without the trauma.

What makes the difference?

To help our clients move beyond “what was” and into “what could be,” we have to first address how they orient to the world.

We need to deal with the specific neurobiology of trauma that can trap them in self-blame, and rewire the one natural instinct that can lead to long-term distress.

And then we have to help our clients uncover the critical key to post-traumatic growth that’s often hiding right inside of their pain.

So we reached out to 16 of the top experts in the field for their practical strategies and insights on how to foster post-traumatic growth. We then created a brand new course . . .
