Certification Training

A unique approach to quickly resolving distress that creates a profound shift in clients! It’s safe and secure, quick and easy on clients and therapists, and tried and true in terms of evidence-informed proven and lasting effectiveness.

Are you a counselling psychologist in private practice?

  • Do you sometimes feel frustrated when your clients get stuck feeling distress?
  • No matter how hard you try you simply don’t know how to help them resolve their distress or trauma?
  •  And they cannot seem to move beyond these blocks?

If you ever have these situations arise while working with your clients, then you know how frustrating it can be on those occasions when your clients cannot seem to resolve their distress about past events, present-day concerns, or even future worries.

And when your usual strategies don’t seem to help, do you wonder if they need to just stay stuck for some reason? Or do you begin to doubt your own abilities?  Or whether you are the right fit for them?

What you are experiencing is a common challenge …

If you answered yes to any of the above questions, then don’t worry. You are not alone.  This is a common experience, yet let me ask you …

  • What would it be like if you could help your clients resolve any distress or trauma in a safe, quick, and effective way?
  • What if there were a technique with proven effectiveness that was easy to learn and apply?
  • What if you could teach this technique as a stress management tool to your clients?  And then they could use it for themselves outside of your sessions? 
  •  What if you could use it for yourself, too?  Perhaps to return to calm after a challenging session with a client?  Or to resolve any issues in your own life?

There are many approaches to handling distress in your clients or for when your clients get stuck. But it can feel like guesswork about what to do in these situations. There’s one approach that you can rely on to help.  It is gentle and works quickly and effectively. It allows you to help your clients resolve any kind of distress. And we want to tell you about that approach today.

Many psychologists believe learning this type of approach might take a long time in training or cost a lot of money. Yet, this is a powerful technique that you can learn quickly and easily, without the time and expense of other training programs, and that provides ongoing personalized coaching/guidance along the way.

How would you like to have a new strategy you can use when your clients are feeling distress related to past events, present-day concerns, or even uture worries – that may be holding them back from making progress with you?

If you would like to learn this effective approach that will help you know what to do when your clients get stuck … we’d love to tell you more about how it works.

To illustrate, let me tell you about Peter and Camilla

Peter and his wife, Camilla, came to work with Nicole, their psychologist, for marital counselling.  They seemed to get stuck when Camilla couldn’t get over the fact that Peter had cheated on her with her best friend.  She kept having flashbacks to the moment when she discovered his infidelity.

Nicole had suggested several strategies for repairing their marriage, but Camilla didn’t want to do these.  She didn’t want to go on any date nights or work on communication techniques because she was still so angry and hurt at Peter’s betrayal. Peter had apologized repeatedly, said he regretted his actions and promised that the affair was over, but it didn’t seem to matter.  Nicole felt discouraged and stuck with the couple’s lack of progress. She even wondered if she was the best therapist for them.

Nicole had established a strong relational bond with this couple and they trusted her. So, before referring them elsewhere, Nicole decided to offer a couple of trauma treatment sessions to Camilla using this technique. It worked wonders for Camilla. It was quick and easy and the results were immediate. Camilla was able to resolve the distress she was feeling and get to a place of real forgiveness for Peter.  Date nights started working and allowed Peter and Camilla to begin to enjoy being with each other again.  Nicole was thrilled that they could now get on with creating strategies for building a more loving connection.  

What Made the Difference?

One technique made all the difference in Nicole’s work with Peter and Camilla. It was the Finding Joy – Trauma Treatment Technique™. What a relief it brought to all concerned!

The Origins of this Technique
