The Silent Scars: Big T and Little t Trauma

Discover practical tools to help clients heal from everyday invalidation and develop healthier relational patterns, enhancing your clinical effectiveness with these often-overlooked experiences.
Healing Traumatised Brains: Childhood to Adult Recovery
When children experience violence, their developing brains adapt for survival, creating neural pathways that persist into adulthood. As trauma-informed practitioners, we can leverage this same neuroplasticity to facilitate healing.
This evidence-based guide explores how childhood trauma alters brain structure and function, and how targeted therapeutic interventions can help rewire these patterns. Discover practical approaches to addressing hypervigilance, emotional dysregulation, and relational difficulties through the lens of interpersonal neurobiology.
