Neuropsychotherapy and Trauma Interventions

1 sessions with Dr Jennifer Sweeton

This comprehensive training series offers a deep, integrative understanding of trauma treatment—combining neurobiology, EMDR methodology, somatic approaches, and practical clinical decision-making. Across the sessions, you will learn how trauma impacts the brain, how to sequence interventions for safety and effectiveness, and how to skillfully guide clients through each phase of processing, from assessment to desensitisation.

You’ll explore the functional roles of key brain regions—including the insula, cingulate, and prefrontal cortex—and learn how their dysregulation shapes symptoms such as dissociation, emotional overwhelm, somatic flashbacks, and cognitive shutdown. The series will show you how to assess these patterns in real time and tailor your interventions accordingly.

You will also learn how to integrate somatic and sensory-motor techniques with EMDR and CBT frameworks to improve interoception, stabilisation, and self-regulation. Through practical demonstrations, you’ll discover how body-based methods support the reactivation of the prefrontal cortex, expand the window of tolerance, and lay the groundwork for trauma memory reprocessing.

This series equips clinicians with the knowledge, structure, and practical tools to deliver more precise, trauma-informed, and neurobiologically grounded care—enhancing your confidence across every stage of the trauma treatment journey.

Test your knowledge – Complete a short quiz after each session to earn CPD/CME/CE credit. Finish all quizzes to receive a Certificate of Achievement, recognising your mastery of neuroscience-informed trauma therapy and intervention strategies.
