Integrative Trauma Treatment in Practice
Format: 3 monthly live sessions · 2 hours each · Zoom
Feb 23 | Mar 17 | Apr 17
12-2pm ET
A practical, case-driven consultation series for clinicians who want to deepen their capacity to work flexibly and confidently with complex trauma presentations. Frank Anderson, MD, will demonstrate an integrative, neuroscience-informed, parts-aware approach to clinical decision-making—showing how to assess, intervene, and adapt moment-to-moment while maintaining a non-pathologizing stance and a grounded therapeutic alliance.
At the core of Frank’s teaching is true integration: understanding how to identify what the moment calls for and choosing the modality that best supports the client’s system. Throughout the series, Frank will teach you how to incorporate essential skills from various models—pulling from EMDR, somatic and embodiment approaches, parts-informed therapies, attachment-based models, polyvagal principles, mindfulness, and meaning-making—and demonstrate how to weave them together in real time. He will highlight how to recognize the signals that indicate when to slow down and work with regulation, when to strengthen internal communication, when to incorporate body-based orientation, when explicit processing may help, and when coaching-style forward movement is stabilizing. This is integrative work in real time—grounded, practical, and clinically responsive.
Every clinician encounters sessions where symptoms don’t follow predictable patterns: dissociation that appears suddenly, shame that shapes every response, attachment dynamics that pull the work off course, or arousal patterns that shift faster than clients can track. In these moments, the task is not only to understand what’s happening, but to respond in a way that is steady, attuned, and clinically sound.
This series creates a professional space for clinicians to learn in community, reflect on real cases, and build confidence in applying an integrative lens to trauma treatment. With guidance from Frank—drawing on more than three decades of experience—participants will strengthen their clinical judgment, sharpen their use of micro-interventions, and deepen their ability to support stability, meaning-making, and long-term integration.

What Participants Will Gain
Clearer, more organized ways to assess and formulate complex presentations
including dissociation, arousal shifts, shame cycles, attachment patterns, and co-occurring issues.
Practical micro-skills for staying within capacity
such as adjusting pace, titration, orienting, stabilizing language, and helping clients differentiate present experience from past activation.
A deeper understanding of how to choose and apply different modalities in real time
including polyvagal-informed regulation work, somatic tracking, parts-aware interventions, EMDR-informed strategies, mindfulness, and relational/attachment-based approaches—and how to recognize which modality best supports the client’s system in the moment.
Guidance for implicit and explicit work
including how to track sensory and affective cues, support body-based awareness, and introduce meaning-making when it becomes helpful.
Strategies for relational repair and stability
with attention to co-regulation, rupture–repair processes, internal and external continuity, and the clinician’s ability to stay grounded and connected.
Risk-responsive planning for dysregulation and safety
including coordination of care, monitoring thresholds, and supporting clinician sustainability with high-intensity cases.
Focus Areas (high-level)
This series supports work across the spectrum of complex trauma, dissociation, attachment injuries, and common comorbidities. Emphasis will be placed on safety, consent, co-regulation, compassionate internal leadership, present-moment differentiation, and sustainable integration across implicit and explicit therapeutic processes.
