Days 1 & 2: Day 1 Understanding the Foundations of Trauma and Attachment & Day 2 Phase-Based Clinical Applications to Promote Healing and Integration of Trauma and Attachment Dysregulation with Lori Gill, Founder and Lead Trauma Therapist, Attachment and Trauma Treatment Centre for Healing
The fields of attachment and trauma research and intervention are growing rapidly. It is apparent that this is an area all clinicians can benefit from training in as it crosses all sectors and populations in some manner. However, we know that it can be difficult to keep up with all of the readings and resources. As this is our area of specialization, let us share what we have learned through our literature and research reviews and what we have effectively put into practice with you in an engaging and practical manner. This comprehensive two-day training will provide insight into current trauma, attachment, and neuroscience research ensuring an understanding of critical information and best practice strategies for working with trauma. This training will also help you to enhance your clinical skills and learn how you can add trauma regulation and attachment healing strategies to your repertoire.
Day 2 will focus on putting it into practice. Through this training participants will learn how to make historical connections, complete initial assessments, and formulate trauma-informed treatment planning. Participants will learn about phase-based treatment of complex trauma and review of best practice and evidence-based approaches will also be experienced.
Upon completion of training participants will have a strong understanding of:
Trauma-Informed Care
The Neuroscience of Trauma, Addictions, Mental Health and Violence
Sensory Regulation
Boundaries, Self-Compassion, and Healthy Relationships
Both days will be rich with research, practical examples, case studies, experiential activities, and opportunities for self-reflection.

Participant Feedback:
The most valuable aspect of the presentation for me was the ability to ask clarifying questions as they came up for me – allowed me to deepen my understanding in the moment and walk away much clearer!
I really appreciated the Eating Disorder examples and links – I felt that you helped tailor the presentation/workshop to where I am and I really benefitted from that
I am very grateful for this two-day workshop and all that I learned. This was exactly what I was looking for/needed in my therapist development journey and feel more confident already in my clinical work to come. Thank you!
I feel as though I have learned so much and I will carry this with me and continue to refer to the information given within the past two days.
Inclusion of clinical examples as well as drawing on multiple resources/researchers. Additionally the critical lens on CBT and evidence-based practices was much appreciated. Enjoyed the applicability to children and adults.
The personal-clinical experiences shared, experiential exercises, video.
All of what was presented! Excellent!!
Depth and breach of knowledge.
Realising the 9 year delay in a trauma and symptoms. (Not sure if I worded this correctly)—makes so much sense!
Clinical and case examples, examples of cases, and sensory tools.
Reaffirmed current clinical practice.
Prior to this I had very little knowledge on trauma and attachment. Now I feel like I know much more and have lots of resources to review.
It was all excellent, especially newest research and case examples.
Very knowledgeable presenter; all the handouts/resources included in slides and our packages. The more practical tools and assessments and strategies.
Making connection between behaviour and brain activity.
The demonstrations and knowledge shared many nuggets to take away.
Everything was excellent, I feel like I know base amount of knowledge about trauma. Not so scared now!
The hands on experience with sensory tools, impact of trauma on brain.
Different approaches possible to use in trauma and treatment, especially sensory.
The “how” to use sensory experience when working with children.
Group discussion with consultation with presenter.
Opening my eyes to my client’s traumas that I might have missed. Recognized my in-depth initial assumptions are so valuable.
The impact of trauma on brain development and the importance of connecting this to behaviour.
Lori’s attention and compassion when answering questions.
To learn more about the sensory impact of trauma. Learning about kids being activated and ensure why, helping them soothes and settle.
Case conceptualization was fantastic. I wish so much we had access to your level of knowledge around trauma and how/what we need to support children.
I don’t know where to begin because it’s all been so extremely informative. Love the practical application.
My clients (adolescents with severe trauma history) tend to struggle with “traditional” mindfulness—especially body-focused/breath/focused. Looking for possible examples.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise on sensory integration. I will be incorporating this in to my practice.
Love your genuineness and look forward to future learning and collaboration with you.
