Courses
Trauma doesn’t just live in the past—it shows up in the nervous system, in relationships, and in the protective patterns we rely on to get through the day. Frank’s courses exist to make trauma knowledge usable: to help you understand what’s happening, reduce shame, and build a practical path toward change. Whether you’re a clinician strengthening your work or someone focused on personal healing, you’ll find a mix of online workshops, on-demand trainings, and deeper professional courses you can take at your own pace.
The Arc of Healing
Discover the essential keys to healing from trauma
Three 60-minute video sessions
Trauma does not have to define your future.

Designed for individuals, loved ones, and professionals alike, this three-part course translates core trauma concepts into practical insight you can return to again and again.
In this accessible on-demand training, Frank Anderson helps you understand why trauma responses develop, how to relate to them with less shame, and what it means to heal in a way that is grounded, integrative, and deeply human. You’ll come away with a clearer roadmap for trauma recovery, deeper insight into your responses, and practical tools for building resilience, self-understanding, and lasting inner steadiness.
Duration: Three 1-hour video sessions

Trauma Beyond the Story
A Two-Part Online Workshop with
Dr. Frank Anderson and Dr. Janina Fisher
Trauma is not only something that happened in the past—it often continues to live on in the body, in relationships, and in the survival patterns that shape daily life. In Trauma Beyond the Story, Janina Fisher and Frank Anderson offer an integrative approach to healing that goes beyond retelling the narrative and instead focuses on how trauma is carried and transformed in the present.
Across this 6-hour on-demand workshop, Frank and Janina blend neuroscience, somatic understanding, and parts work to help participants recognize the living legacy of trauma and relate to protective responses with greater clarity, curiosity, and compassion. The course helps people reduce shame, separate past trauma from present identity, and reconnect with a greater sense of safety and inner wisdom.
Duration: 6-hour workshop
Price: $199

Resilience & Forgiveness
Explore the main components of resilience and forgiveness to better help yourself, and your clients, move beyond adversity.
Resilience and forgiveness are not about bypassing pain or forcing ourselves to move on before we are ready. They are about learning how to stay present with what is difficult, soften the grip of suffering, and create the conditions for healing, clarity, and forward movement. This on-demand discussion offers a grounded and compassionate look at what helps people move through adversity with greater steadiness.
In this 60-minute training, Frank Anderson explores the inner capacities that support resilience, why forgiveness can be so challenging, and how both can become part of a more integrated path toward healing.
Duration: 60 minutes
