Healing for the Heart

Healing for the Heart: Compassionate Approaches for Trauma and Connection

Healing from trauma—especially complex trauma—requires more than insight. It calls for compassion, regulation, and connection. “Healing for the Heart” offers a deeply experiential and practical exploration of how clinicians can use compassion-based approaches to support nervous system regulation, repair attachment wounds, and foster healing within individuals and communities.

This training bridges current research on trauma, attachment, and the nervous system with actionable clinical tools. Participants will learn to help clients move beyond survival responses toward safety, connection, and growth.

What You’ll Learn

By the end of this training, you’ll be able to confidently:

Describe how trauma and complex trauma impact nervous system regulation and interpersonal functioning.
Apply compassion-based and nervous-system-informed interventions to support clients in trauma recovery.
Explain how attachment patterns influence emotional regulation, relationships, and resilience.
Identify strategies for fostering community and connection as essential components of healing.

Why This Training Matters

Trauma recovery begins with safety, understanding, and connection. This training gives clinicians the tools to help clients regulate their nervous systems, repair relational patterns, and rediscover the strength that comes from compassion and community.

Join us to strengthen your skills, nurture your own well-being, and bring healing-centered approaches into every level of your work.
