Participant Testimonials
“Not only was the workshop informative, it provided me with a sense of hope and reminded me to fill my cup so I can hold the cup of my client until they can hold it themselves.”
“Received lots of great resources. It was a good reminder of what trauma work is and how to identify trauma. Lots of great tools/analogies to use with clients and a reminder of what I am doing well already.”
“It was a really wonderful and informative session, and I learned a lot about trauma that I can now even apply to my own life and in the workplace!”
