What You'll Learn
How predictive processing explains why trauma symptoms persist — and what it takes to actually update a nervous system's outdated models
Why memory reconsolidation is fundamentally different from extinction, and what that distinction means for how you work with trauma in any modality
How the Theory of Constructed Emotion reframes what your clients are experiencing — and why emotional granularity is a clinical intervention, not just a concept
The shared mechanism across all three frameworks — and how EMDR, IFS, and somatic approaches are already leveraging it, whether we've named it or not

The Neuroscience of Trauma Healing
What actually happens in the brain when trauma heals? And why do some clients experience lasting transformation while others stay stuck - even with skilled, dedicated therapists? This live 3-hour training was designed to answer those questions. Whether you're a student just beginning to build your clinical foundation, a pre-licensed therapist developing your approach, or a seasoned practitioner looking to update your understanding of the work you're already doing — this training meets you where you are. We'll explore three interconnected frameworks that are reshaping how we understand trauma treatment: predictive processing, memory reconsolidation, and the Theory of Constructed Emotion. Together, these frameworks offer something rare - a coherent, neuroscience-grounded explanation for why effective trauma therapy works, regardless of the modality you're using. You'll walk away with a framework that travels with you across your entire clinical career. This is not a modality training. It's the foundation underneath all of them.
