You want something deeper, wiser, more aligned, and truly sustainable to support your clients as you assist them to spread their wings + soar to greater heights in their relationships, career and personal health.
In February 2022, the Worlds First Complex Trauma Training with lived experience will become available. Based on healing the brain through Neuroscience the course will be Experiential for Professionals, Practitioners and Trauma Coaches.
You will learn and experience effective recovery for individuals who have Childhood Developmental Trauma and Intergenerational Trauma.
Why do you need to experience the recovery process too?
Complex Trauma clients need an emotionally safe foundation as their first step for effective recovery. They need to know with certainty we have applied our training in our life too. Without this certainty they will remain in recovery for a long time, too afraid to touch, to experience, what is happening internally for them. Interpersonal Neurobiology is powerful. With Therapists globally not trained in Complex Trauma clients are spending decades in talk therapy, and it does not work for complex trauma clients.
It’s normal for Complex Trauma individuals to be afraid to go within because their brain wiring, often impacted epigenetically and in utero plus their own developmental trauma, continues to unconsciously drive their trauma responses. We, as professionals, need to help them in session, and with homework out of session, to navigate their unique recovery pathway.
The key is through practical neuroscience. Using the latest neuroscience for Complex Trauma we can implement practical, and effective, skills and strategies which heal the brain. Integration into daily life is also essential for the brain to create new neural pathways. Without recognising and changing our brain driven behaviours and experiences the unconscious brain continues to respond the same ways, leading us to repeat self defeating behaviours and patterns in our personal and professional lives.
Complex Trauma Trained Certification - is it for you?
Are you working with Complex Trauma Clients?
Then you’re in the right place. This certification is for you.
Globally individuals are working with complex trauma clients without any formal complex trauma training because it has not been readily available in a practical, lived experience, effective for every different client format, until now.
If you’re working with Complex Trauma clients you’ll know that every client with developmental trauma presents with different experiences, different impacts in their lives and different stages of recovery.
As Complex Trauma Coaches we need at our fingertips –
- Effective, practical help for each of the differences our clients present with.
- Personal, lived experience with Complex Trauma Recovery to provide the foundation of emotionally safety for clients – this is their first need.
- A range of materials to give our clients options to choose from for their recovery. I once had to present 5 different infographics to a client before they found one to fit them and their personal recovery needs.
- A practical education in neuroscience and how to apply it as a coach.
- Practical education with lived experience across a number of areas as effective Complex Trauma recovery requires both the education and the lived experience.

About Linda & Healing from Complex Ptsd
We're creating Generational Change
My Story
I spent decades seeking answers to questions I couldn’t even frame properly. I “knew” there was something wrong internally with me even though my life was externally fully functioning. I developed and taught My Authentic Self and other programs beginning 25 years ago. Then I experienced the total collapse of my life. Bedridden for 2.5 years I lost all my cognitive functions. I couldn’t walk unaided, couldn’t talk, eat or bathe without a full time carer. I had no memory of how to do the every day things like washing, cooking and cleaning.
Fast forward to today where I coach clients globally, have the worlds first Complex Trauma Membership, run a Peer support community of 6.0k and growing with a Team of 16 who are trained by myself and our Director. I have over 500 practical education videos on YouTube and my own recovery improves yearly. Complex Trauma can be healed, it takes time, education, experience and consistent dedication to healing our brain, body, psychology, sociology and spirituality where often the wounds are passed on unknowingly from generations before us.
My Mission
We are the generation, the first generation creating change from generations of trauma handed down to us. We are the first to say no more, and we are the first to consciously choose how we parent and interact with people in our lives.
As Complex Trauma Coaches we are at the coalface of helping clients identify what is happening for them internally and through neuroscience being able to offer effective recovery tools.
My mission is to educate, equip and empower Mental Health Professionals to assist clients time and cost effectively recover from Complex Ptsd.
