It has made me revisit what I covered in my counselling training which included having therapy to help uncover subceived beliefs which has created my narrative which I have been measuring my life by.

By Lorette Adlard on 8/27/2026

I enjoyed this course immensely. The lectures are well-planned, supplemented by infographics/visual aids, easy to follow along with & understand, and presented in a professional fashion. I will be keeping an eye out for future courses, definitely.

By Helen Bowley on 7/14/2026

It is good to be able to read and listen at the same time, to increase processing and retention.Even better if all of the resources were printable as one job (so i could get away with printing it at work)

By Kelly Williams on 5/7/2026

I'm the founder of Kellys Coaching and the author of the book Peace of Mind: A Guide to Daily Calm and Elevate Wellness by Kelly Williams on Amazon. I feel this course will help me with both my coaching and writing. It's very good so far, thank you!

By Geeta Khatwani on 3/21/2026

Really in depth work on Trauma, if you are thinking how to work with a client who is presenting trauma this is your go to course. I would also love to understand how to deal with the clients who have ongoing chronic developmental trauma. Thank you this course surely helped me a lot in understanding trauma & i feel equipped now when i help my clients work with their traumas

By Dorie Mack on 3/4/2026

This training challenged me, stretched me, and deepened the way I understand trauma and its impact on how we show up in our lives and relationships. I didn’t just gain tools; I gained perspective, language, and a deeper level of compassion. It helped me see more clearly how to hold space safely and responsibly while still empowering clients to reclaim their strength. I’m walking away from this experience feeling more grounded, more aware, and even more committed to the work I do.

By Sana Ajaz on 3/2/2026

I got to learn a lot through this course and I'm happy I did it. I also like how case examples were given for better understanding. Great course for anyone beginning their careers in psychology!

By Angela Taylor on 2/5/2026

I'm glad I have invested in the course. It is helping me to understand myself better so far. I like that the instructor wants the students to begin their healing journey first.

By Christine on 2/2/2026

I'm not sure. The clients that I have in my trauma group have ongoing trauma that happened over the course of many years not just one particular incident.

By Laura Monk on 1/16/2026

I liked it. Well informed. Very profession. It was highly focused on acute traumas (PTSD) rather than recurring trauma (C-PTSD), and I’m wondering how well the information transfers to complex trauma.
