If you and those you love discover you are having the same argument over and over again, it can be deeply distressing. It might even cause you to doubt your empathy practice or doubt your ability to heal. That is where an understanding of the neurobiology of trauma can be exceptionally beneficial – even vital – when it comes to supporting healing and connection, especially in long-term relationships. During this course you will get to know not only your own survival strategies, but the strategies of those you love as well. You will also discover new paths designed to enable you to move towards integrating – and healing – difficult events.
