Advanced Trauma Sensitive Mindfulness Practitioner Certification

Advanced Trauma Informed Practitioner Certification – A deeper look into trauma healing and mindfulness

CPD

This trauma sensitive mindfulness practitioner training course has been developed with mindfulness teachers in mind but would be equally valuable for any talking therapists, yoga teacher or indeed anyone working and practicing in a teaching, caring or healthcare role.

This day is part 2 of a two part training course. The course has been developed so each day (part 1 and 2) can also be stand alone courses in their own right and there is no obligation to attend both days. The training has been developed so you can attend part two or the advanced training first, if that is what works better for you.

Our training course delves even deeper into exploring trauma and learning how we as practitioners can respond in a  skilful way. Our overall aim is to help prevent re-traumatisation as best we can within our work as teachers and therapists.

We don’t want to create any fear around trauma but instead leave practitioners confident that they can successfully help participants and clients navigate through potential traumatic stress within their personal mindfulness practise and to steer them towards a place that ultimately feel safer for them.

To be clear, this course is not meant as a ‘trauma healing’ course, but we will be sharing some gentle mindfulness based ideas around working with participants specifically with trauma.

Our course includes: considering how we can deliver mindfulness teaching in a safer way, exploring trauma therapy work including SE (somatic experiencing) and linking this with somatic mindful movement. We will be learning about polyvagal theory and other ideas that can help our particpants to widen their WOT ‘windows of tolerance’ in order to be able to stay in practice and to experience the full benefits of learning mindfulness.

We will looking further into ways to remain as inclusive as possible and at the same time as safe and as aware as we can be of the varying needs of our participants. 

This CPD is being delivered by experienced trauma informed practitioners and mindfulness teacher trainer’s Rachel Mckenna and Madeleine Agnew.
