Sustaining Ourselves with Affirming Trauma Training.
Practical, evidence-informed training in navigating burnout, complex trauma, and EMDR Therapy, for helping professionals working with queer and other marginalized humans.
Holding space for people who face adversity is no easy task.
Therapists and other helping professionals often share the calling to help others on their path towards healing. Many helping professionals and caregivers receive little training or support in understanding trauma, how unhealed experiences linger, or how to take care of themselves while also caring for others.
My trainings are intended to help bridge that gap. I provide practical, evidence-informed information designed to enhance your growing toolbox as a caregiver.
