Training Accreditation

The Foundations of CRM™ is a live, 5-day training (comprised of two, 2.5 day modules) that is the pre-requisite for all other CRM™ trainings and webinars. 

There are four components to this training:

1. CRM™ Case conceptualization and specific neurobiological interventions that create robust brain and body-based safety as a framework for trauma processing in sessions and personal agency between sessions

2. The art of applying the concepts and skills in the most effective and attuned way particularly for Complex PTSD although the model is effective for most psychiatric diagnoses

3. Teaching and inspiring therapists to expand their sophistication, confidence and competence in working with the nuances and intuition in healing others rather than simply applying protocols

4. Providing the opportunity for therapists to apply CRM® processing for their own deep healing which enhances their ability to attune to the more complex needs of their clients

The learning process includes didactic teaching, demonstrations and experiential practicums.
