PESI – Healing Trauma in Relationships: Expert approaches to overcome attachment wounds, shame, betrayal, and more
Help clients overcome trauma and discover the safe, connected, intimate relationships they’ve always wanted!
Join master therapists Janina Fisher, Esther Perel, and Terry Real
For clients with deeply rooted trauma, intimate relationships can be terrifying.
Especially when the trauma occurred in the context of another relationship, the pain of the past makes it incredibly challenging to develop healthy relationships again.
As therapists, it is not enough to treat the trauma…
…we also need to be able to help our clients work through the unexpected triggers, unhelpful ways of coping and feelings of isolation, shame and mistrust that have become barriers to developing the safe and loving connections they desire.
That’s why we’ve brought together three master therapists, Janina Fisher, Esther Perel, and Terry Real — whose cutting-edge approaches have provided a pathway to healing for traumatized clients and couples around the world.
Now in this groundbreaking online course, you have the unique opportunity to access the perspectives of all three therapy masters on how to guide your clients toward trauma recovery AND the close connections they’re seeking… regardless if you’re working with couples or individuals.
You’ll end this program with the insight, confidence and skills you need to take treatment beyond trauma healing – to restoration and lasting connection!
What You’ll Discover In This Course
Join these expert therapists for step-by-step learning sessions where they’ll guide you through the precise interventions to use in key situations with traumatized clients.
Then see the experts in action through their Master Class recordings that were specifically chosen to highlight how to use these skills with traumatized relationships. You’ll experience their approaches through real client demonstrations and get access to exclusive therapist-to-therapist interviews that provide the intricate details that will help you quickly integrate these skills.
Here’s just a sampling of what you’ll learn:
- Janina Fisher’s method of working with the nervous systems and internal parts to bring couples back into connection
- Esther Perel’s revolutionary use of eroticism and pleasure as a path to trauma healing
- Terry Real’s method for leveraging therapist authenticity and trust-building to quickly work through deep emotional wounds
Module 1 | From Pain to Pleasure
Esther Perel, MA, LMFT
In this first module, your world-renowned eroticism expert Esther Perel and sex therapist Holly Richmond will show you how to access eroticism as the catalyst that stimulates recovery from trauma.
When clients experience deep wounding or traumatic stress, that erotic self often goes into hiding. Instead of viewing the re-emergence of eroticism as an outcome that happens at the end of trauma treatment, this session will explore what happens when we treat it as the beginning point of healing.
Module 2 | Esther Perel’s Trauma and the Roots of Infidelity in-session demonstration
Esther Perel, MA, LMFT
In this module from Esther Perel’s groundbreaking Master Class, you’ll join Esther in-session with a gay couple whose relationship has been impacted by trauma. One of the partners has a history of PTSD and substance abuse, and it’s recently been discovered that he’s had multiple affairs. Experience how Esther helps the couple to better understand the trauma and its triggers, and how she creatively guides the couple towards a fuller, more open relationship.
Module 3 | Healing Trauma in Couples Therapy
Janina Fisher, PhD
Childhood trauma leaves survivors with a fundamental mistrust in the safety of relationships. In this session, trauma pioneer Janina Fisher will demonstrate the importance of somatic communication in helping couples connect. You’ll discover how to help partners identify the role of trauma in their troubled relationships, and help them to move beyond their trauma stories and automatic responses to genuine safety and recovery.
Module 4 | Janina Fisher’s Working with a Traumatized Couple in-session demonstration
Janina Fisher, PhD
In this session from Janina Fisher’s trauma Master Class, you’ll meet a couple haunted by deep traumatic wounds — he was verbally abused and kicked out of his home when he was a 10-year-old boy, and she grew up as the victim of an angry, abusive mother.
Discover how Janina brings this traumatized couple back into connection with each other, even after they’ve experienced hardships in their young relationship.
Module 5 | The Neurobiology of Healing Relationships: Trauma Work Meets Couples Therapy
Terry Real, LICSW
Juliane Taylor Shore, LMFT, LPC
When clients have experienced serious trauma, their brains lose the ability to regulate their emotions, limiting their capacity for intimate relationships. In this session, Terry Real and interpersonal neurobiology trainer Juliane Taylor Shore will teach you evidence-based approaches to overcome trauma.
Module 6 | Terry Real’s Working Treatment in Action in-session demonstration
Terry Real, LICSW
Join Terry Real in this Master Class session as he works with Jerome, a combat Marine who radiates anger and feels entitled to control others, especially his wife. With Terry’s help, Jerome opens up about his severe trauma history… including a chilling account of witnessing murder and experiencing abuse and criminal neglect. By the end of the session, he willingly commits to treatment to save his marriage and avoid damaging his children.
