Neuropsychotherapy and Trauma Interventions

3 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.

01

Why the Brain Won’t Switch Off

Dive into the brain’s hidden survival system as Dr Jennifer Sweeton unpacks how trauma rewires threat detection. Explore why PTSD symptoms persist, how the amygdala hijacks rational thinking, and how fast survival pathways shape our responses—revealing powerful insights into healing and resilience.

Why Safe Moments Still Feel Dangerous

Explore the powerful difference between constant hypervigilance and sudden trauma triggers in this eye-opening session with Dr Jennifer Sweeton. Learn why calming practices help baseline stress but can’t stop instant reactions—and discover how the brain can be retrained to recognise safety and restore control.

How Trauma Disrupts Control and Clarity

Discover how the insula, cingulate, and prefrontal cortex shape trauma and recovery with Dr Jennifer Sweeton. Learn why insula shutdown causes dissociation and overactivation creates somatic flashbacks, how self-regulation and executive control weaken, and follow a clear roadmap—safety, body reconnection, regulation, cognition, then trauma-focused healing for lasting change.
