Trauma Treatment with Babette Rothschild — Free Speaker Event (Limited Time)
This is a rare opportunity to learn directly from Babette Rothschild in conversation with Serge Prengal.
Designed for psychotherapists, psychologists, and somatic practitioners, this event integrates theory, application, and real-world clinical insight. The conversation traces the evolution of trauma treatment while clarifying core definitions of trauma and offering practical guidance for working with dissociation, trauma memory, and the autonomic nervous system—including Babette’s widely respected framework.
A central focus is placed on stabilization and safety—hallmarks of effective trauma care—especially when working with clients who are in unstable conditions or at risk of decompensation. The session helps clarify how to approach treatment when regulation is limited and circumstances remain activating.
In a grounded, conversational format, this experience includes:
- The evolution and clarification of trauma theory and definitions
- Practical approaches to working with the autonomic nervous system
- Clear guidance on stabilization and safety in trauma care
- Case-based insights and real clinical questions
-
Your role as a therapist and working with counter-transference
The result is an experience that feels like expert supervision, thoughtful dialogue, and focused teaching combined—designed to be immediately applicable in your clinical work.
