Survivors are looking for expert-led, trauma-informed care — become the specialist they trust
Sexual and interpersonal trauma strikes at the heart of trust and intimacy, often coming from those who were supposed to protect your clients.
These wounds can disrupt their sense of safety, leaving them struggling with relationships, body image, and persistent symptoms.
And even experienced therapists can misstep, such as unintentionally invalidating clients, sticking too rigidly to one model, or overlooking crucial issues.
That’s why we’ve put together a game-changing dual-course training with trauma experts Erika Shershun, LMFT, and Katelyn Baxter-Musser, LCSW, C-DBT.
This isn’t just another course—it’s your key to providing the specialized care your clients desperately need.
In the first part, you’ll dive into sexual trauma’s impact and get actionable techniques to truly support survivors. Then, in the second segment, you’ll level up your skills by integrating EMDR (no prior EMDR training needed) and DBT to enhance client readiness and tackle trauma-related relational challenges.
In becoming a specialist, you’ll gain:
- A deep understanding of sexual trauma’s effects to support your clients with empathy.
- Proven strategies for sensitive conversations that build trust and transparency.
- Empowering somatic techniques to manage triggers, flashbacks, and dissociation.
- Strategies to rebuild boundaries and help clients take back control of their lives.

Trauma-Informed Stabilization Treatment (TIST): A Somatic Approach to Working with Parts Digital Seminar
Janina Fisher, PhD
Trauma treatment is rarely straightforward. Clients want help but resist connecting emotionally. Many are tormented by critical self-hating thoughts or want to die, jeopardizing their ability to process the trauma. TIST is a new trauma-informed treatment that directly addresses the challenges, not just the events, of a traumatic past. In TIST, we view these trauma-related thoughts, emotions, and impulses as communications from fragmented, disowned trauma-related parts. When clients form meaningful attachment relationships to these young, rejected parts, the trauma often resolves spontaneously. When the parts finally experience safety and care, the traumatic past feels done and behind them.
