POST CONFERENCE TRAINING NOV 9, 2026 - Betrayal Trauma Recovery

Betrayal trauma is one of the most profound, and least understood forms of psychological injury. Whether it stems from intimate relationships, family dynamics, workplace experiences, or institutional systems, betrayal can shatter a person’s sense of safety, identity, and self-worth.

This immersive full-day training equips practitioners with a trauma-informed, practical framework to support clients in navigating the complex emotional, psychological, and somatic impact of betrayal, and guiding them toward lasting recovery.

Grounded in neuroscience, clinical insight, and real-world application, this training moves beyond theory into tools you can use immediately in practice.
