Our first session starts on April 7, 2026
A step-by-step roadmap for applying an integrative trauma lens, so you can meet what’s actually driving the client’s system
A client’s trauma is rarely “one thing.”
Even when clients gain real insight—when they can name the event, track the pattern, and explain the activation point—something inside them can still clamp down. They keep repeating the same cycles: shutdown, hypervigilance, numbing, collapsing, pleasing, avoiding, raging. Not because they’re unwilling. Because their system is protecting them.
That’s the hard truth of trauma work:
Trauma isn’t just a memory—it’s an organizing principle.
It shapes the nervous system’s threat response, the client’s internal protective strategies, and the way connection is experienced (or avoided). And different kinds of trauma organize the system in different ways.
When we treat every presentation with the same approach, we can accidentally create friction:
- we push for processing when the system needs stabilization
- we chase insight when the client needs regulation
- we focus on technique when the real issue is pacing and fit
- we try to “repair relationship” before the nervous system can tolerate closeness
This program gives you a clearer map.
Dr. Frank Anderson’s integrative framework weaves together neuroscience, parts-informed psychotherapy, polyvagal principles, and relational theory to help you identify which trauma pathway is most active—shock, relational, identity-based, collective, or attachment/preverbal—and choose interventions that match the client’s biology, protection, and context.
So instead of guessing—or forcing a model—you’ll be able to work with more precision:
Stabilize what’s overwhelmed.
Respect what’s protected.
Support agency and integration over time.
And help clients move beyond coping into real, sustainable change.
Why Choose This Course Over Others?
Go beyond “what tool do I use?” and learn how to decide what the client’s system needs next.
A lot of trauma trainings do one of two things:
- They emphasize symptom management—regulation skills, grounding tools, mindfulness practices, somatic exercises. Useful, yes. But often incomplete. Because you can help a client regulate and still watch them return to the same protective loops.
- They go deep on one model—which can be powerful, but can also become rigid when the client’s presentation doesn’t match the model’s assumptions.
This course takes a different route.
It gives you a clinician-first framework for discernment—so you can recognize what kind of trauma is most active (shock, relational, identity-based, collective, or attachment/preverbal) and choose interventions that fit the nervous system state, protective strategies, and relational context in front of you.
- A trauma map built around five real-world pathways Instead of treating “trauma” as one category, each session focuses on a distinct pathway with its own clinical patterning, pacing needs, and common pitfalls. You’ll learn how to differentiate what you’re seeing, even when symptoms overlap, and how to avoid mismatches that create escalation, collapse, or stuckness.
- An integrative framework, not a grab bag of techniques You won’t just collect more tools. You’ll learn how Frank bridges neuroscience, parts-informed psychotherapy, polyvagal principles, and relational theory into one coherent approach. The value isn’t novelty, it’s clarity: why this client is stuck, what’s protecting them, and what supports integration.
- Real-time learning with clinical application This isn’t a self-paced “watch and hope it sticks” experience. Each class includes live teaching + dedicated Q&A, plus guided application (and when scheduled, demonstrations/exercises and post-class breakouts). The goal is that you leave each session knowing exactly what changes in your next week of client work.
- Pacing and protection are treated as primary, not secondary Many trainings teach interventions without teaching the timing. Here, pacing is central: how to identify overwhelm early, how to titrate, how to work with protectors as intelligence (not obstacles), and how to prevent retraumatization while still moving the work forward.
- Designed for all levels, without flattening the material If you’re newer to trauma work, this gives you structure and a map. If you’re experienced, it gives you range, especially for the complex cases where a single model stops working. The point is not to replace what you already do, but to expand your options and sharpen your judgment under real clinical pressure.
- A supportive professional development experience (not just content) You’ll have live access to the instructor, ongoing Q&A, and lifetime access to recordings and materials, so you can revisit key concepts as you apply them over time. This is built to support competence, not just consumption.
If you’re tired of choosing between “symptom management” and “one-size-fits-all,” this course offers a third option: a flexible, integrative way to work that matches the client you actually have.
Because trauma treatment isn’t just theory—it’s timing, pacing, and precision.

What You Get For Only $347…
Five 2-hour LIVE, Interactive Training Sessions
Led by Dr. Frank Anderson, this training provides a structured, clinician-centered learning experience designed to help you adapt your approach across different trauma presentations. Each session includes 90 minutes of live teaching followed by 30 minutes of live Q&A, with clinical examples and guided interventions to deepen understanding and support real-world application.
Join Us LIVE for Practical Teaching and Real-World Application
Trauma work isn’t just about knowing what tool exists—it’s about knowing when to use it, why it fits, and what to do when it doesn’t. Dr. Anderson will teach an integrative framework that bridges neuroscience, parts-informed psychotherapy, polyvagal principles, and relational theory, so you can work with greater flexibility and precision across trauma types.
Each 2-hour Session Includes Core Teaching, Clinical Examples, and Step-by-Step Guidance
Dr. Anderson will break down how different forms of trauma shape the nervous system and internal protective strategies in distinct ways—and how that changes your points of intervention. You’ll learn how to assess what’s most active in the system, stabilize what’s overwhelmed, work skillfully with protection, and support integration over time—without forcing a one-size-fits-all approach.
Includes LIVE Q&A with Dr. Frank Anderson
At the end of each session, Dr Anderson will host a dedicated Q&A where you can ask questions and receive direct guidance on pacing, case conceptualization, and how to choose interventions that fit the client’s nervous system, protective strategies, and relational context. This time is designed to help you clarify concepts, troubleshoot application, and get support for the questions that tend to show up in real practice: what to prioritize, how to pace, how to recognize overwhelm early, and how to adjust when progress stalls.
- Session 1: The Shock and the Echo—Working with Acute and Chronic PTSD
- Session 2: The Wound Within the Relationship—Healing Relational Trauma
- Session 3: Before There Were Words—Attachment Trauma and Preverbal Wounds
- Session 4: Trauma of Identity—Healing Wounds Related to Marginalization, Race, Gender, Orientation, and Neurodiversity

Here’s what You’ll Learn in Each Live Session
All sessions meet online at 11:00 AM – 1:00 PM MT
Each class includes teaching + live Q&A.
SESSION 1: Tuesday, April 7, 2026 @ 11 am MT
The Shock and the Echo: Working with Acute and Chronic PTSD
Trauma can emerge from a single overwhelming moment—or accumulate across repeated, inescapable experiences. In this opening session, Dr. Frank Anderson explores how threat is encoded in the brain and body, how protective strategies organize around survival, and why symptoms can persist long after danger has passed.
You’ll also learn how to recognize when a client is ready for deeper work—and when the most therapeutic move is stabilizing the system first. Dr. Anderson will walk through common clinical sticking points (flooding, shutdown, “stuck processing,” reenactment cycles) and show how to work in a way that builds internal trust, reduces reactivity, and supports agency without pushing the nervous system past capacity.
What you’ll learn:
- How to differentiate acute trauma from chronic/complex PTSD
- How protective strategies activate in response to threat—and how to work with them safely
- Integrative interventions for stabilization and regulation
- How to spot overwhelm early and adjust pacing to prevent retraumatization
SESSION 2: Thursday, April 9, 2026 @ 11 am MT
The Wound Within the Relationship: Healing Relational Trauma
Relational trauma is encoded not only in memory, but also in attachment templates, nervous system expectation, and internal beliefs about safety and worth. This session focuses on how interpersonal trauma shapes protective strategies, emotional regulation, and adult relating—and how to support repair without pushing past protection.
Dr. Anderson will help you track the moment-to-moment dynamics that often define relational trauma work: pursuit/withdraw patterns, fawning, collapse, control, mistrust, testing, and sudden disconnection. You’ll learn how to work with these strategies as protective intelligence—and how to build enough internal safety for clients to tolerate closeness, boundaries, and repair without reenacting the original wound.
What you’ll learn:
- How relational trauma disrupts attachment patterns and internal working models
- Common protector strategies in relational trauma—and how to work with them
- Polyvagal- and parts-informed strategies for relational repair
- Tools to strengthen self-connection and secure relating
SESSION 3: Thursday, April 16, 2026 @ 11 am MT
Before There Were Words: Attachment Trauma and Preverbal Wounds
Preverbal trauma shapes the nervous system before language and explicit memory. These wounds often show up later as somatic symptoms, shame, dysregulation, or chronic relational struggle. In this session, Dr. Frank Anderson explores how early trauma is encoded and how clinicians can work with these implicit layers without requiring explicit recall.
You’ll learn how to recognize presentations that suggest early attachment wounding (even when the story is unclear), and how to support repair through somatic awareness, parts-informed approaches, and attachment-based strategies. Dr. Anderson will emphasize pacing, internal safety, and the gradual building of secure attachment capacities—so the work stays tolerable, relational, and integration-oriented rather than reactivating or collapsing the system.
What you’ll learn:
- How early trauma is encoded in nervous system + attachment circuitry
- Presentations that signal developmental/preverbal trauma
- Somatic- and parts-informed techniques to work implicitly and safely
- How to build internal safety and secure attachment capacities over time
SESSION 4: Tuesday, April 21, 2026 @ 11 am MT
Trauma of Identity: Healing Wounds Related to Marginalization, Race, Gender, Orientation, and Neurodiversity
Identity-related trauma is often chronic, systemic, and reinforced through repeated “othering.” In this session, Dr. Frank Anderson examines the clinical and neurobiological impacts of marginalization and how to approach identity-based trauma without pathologizing lived experience.
This work requires both precision and humility. Dr. Anderson will explore how ongoing systemic stress shapes threat detection, internalized beliefs, protective strategies, and relational expectations and how clinicians can support empowerment and safety without collapsing into “fixing,” minimizing, or over-intellectualizing. You’ll leave with practical, culturally attuned strategies that honor context while still supporting integration and agency.
What you’ll learn:
- The impact of identity-based marginalization on nervous system + self-perception
- How systemic oppression shapes internal protective strategies
- Trauma-informed, culturally attuned strategies that promote affirmation and agency
- How to differentiate internalized burdens from core identity/selfhood
SESSION 5: Thursday, April 23, 2026 @ 11 am MT
When the Wound Is Shared: Understanding and Treating Collective Trauma
Collective trauma affects communities, cultures, and generations. This session explores how large-scale events imprint on individuals and systems and how clinicians can support clients who are living with ongoing societal stressors.
Dr. Anderson will address a core clinical challenge: when the stressor isn’t “over,” the nervous system can’t simply resolve it like a past event. You’ll learn how to support regulation and meaning-making amid sustained uncertainty while also strengthening internal and external resources. This session will also help you recognize intergenerational echoes of trauma, and the ways collective threat can shape identity, worldview, attachment, and self-protective strategies.
What you’ll learn:
- How to define collective trauma and distinguish it from individual trauma
- Intergenerational patterns connected to large-scale events
- Strategies for chronic uncertainty and sustained stress activation
- Interventions that cultivate resilience, agency, and resource

Learning Objectives
By the end of this training participants will be able to:
- Differentiate key trauma pathways and match treatment accordingly. Identify whether shock trauma, relational trauma, identity-based trauma, collective trauma, or attachment/preverbal trauma is most active in a client’s presentation. Recognize overlapping symptoms and determine which layer to prioritize for intervention.
- Apply an integrative framework that bridges neuroscience, parts-informed psychotherapy, polyvagal principles, and relational theory. Explain how distinct trauma types shape nervous system regulation, internal protective strategies, and relational patterns. Use this integrated lens to guide clinical decision-making and pacing.
- Assess acute trauma vs. chronic/complex PTSD and implement stabilization strategies. Differentiate acute PTSD from chronic or complex presentations using symptom patterns and neurobiological markers. Apply at least three interventions for stabilization, regulation, and restoring agency while minimizing risk of retraumatization.
- Describe signs of overwhelm and adapt pacing to prevent retraumatization. Recognize indicators of flooding, shutdown, and sympathetic escalation. Adjust titration, resourcing, and sequencing to support containment and integration over time.
- Describe how relational trauma disrupts attachment patterns and internal working models. Identify at least two common protector strategies that emerge in relational trauma survivors. Utilize polyvagal-informed and parts-informed strategies to support relational repair, strengthen self-connection, and promote secure relating.
- Apply culturally attuned strategies for identity-based marginalization and trauma. Describe clinical and neurobiological impacts of racism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, and chronic “othering.” Identify how systemic oppression shapes internal burdens and self-perception, and apply affirming interventions that promote empowerment without pathologizing lived experience.
- Define collective trauma and address intergenerational patterns in clinical work. Differentiate collective trauma from individual trauma in the therapy room. Identify intergenerational expressions of large-scale events and apply interventions that cultivate resilience and agency within community-impacted clients.
- Work effectively with attachment trauma and preverbal wounds without requiring explicit memory. Describe how early developmental trauma is encoded in the nervous system and attachment circuitry. Apply somatically informed and parts-informed techniques to access implicit material, support internal safety, and build secure attachment capacities even when clients cannot recall specific events.
