NBCC-Approved Continuing Education Training

This continuing education training explores intersubjective and relational approaches to psychotherapy, with a focus on working with emotional trauma. Grounded in psychoanalytic and humanistic perspectives, the course examines how context, relational history, and organizing principles shape the therapeutic relationship.

Clinicians will deepen their understanding of emotional dwelling, attuned language, and the clinical timing of interpretation versus presence, using theory and applied examples to support trauma-informed, relational practice.

Through theoretical discussion and clinical examples, this training deepens understanding of:

  • Intersubjectivity and its impact on the therapeutic relationship

  • Early developmental organizing principles

  • The use of attuned language in therapy

  • Clinical discernment around the timing of interpretation versus emotional dwelling

  • Trauma treatment from a relational, humanistic perspective

This training is ideal for clinicians seeking to strengthen their relational presence, refine trauma-informed practice, and deepen their theoretical and experiential understanding of psychotherapy work.
