Join us for our upcoming practicums and experience Accelerated Resourcing firsthand. As one clinician shared in her feedback, this training distilled key concepts from numerous trauma trainings—representing thousands of dollars and countless hours of investment—into a practical, focused approach. After years of clinical experience and working extensively with clients, this technique was developed to be more accessible and applicable to clinicians. You can learn the approach in less than a day. Many professional trainings are lengthy, exhausting, and difficult to integrate into everyday clinical practice. This is different. The goal is to provide a focused, experiential learning experience that you can understand, practice, and begin applying with your clients. I believe you'll find it well worth your time. As a trauma specialist, I find myself relaxed and not stressed searching for the next intervention or insightful comment. Instead, I'm just facilitating healing, allowing the client's brain to do the hard work. Each session is not draining for me and the work is rewarding! This method is particularly helpful for those in managed care organizations, where time is limited and client load is high. Easily integrate this technique into your therapy sessions.
Although I am not trained In Somatic Experiencing (SE), the concept of Pendulation from Peter Levine, PhD helps describe what Accelerated Resourcing process is like. Any number of these imagery exercises can be used to help accelerate the healing process and works in a time limited setting. It has been developed through years of experience as I worked in a managed care organization and used it to help over a thousand clients. Who is this training for? Therapists seeking an effective approach to address trauma-related issues quickly. This technique allows you to work without delving into the specifics of the trauma. It minimizes the risk of indirect trauma and helps maintain your well-being, preventing burnout or feeling overwhelmed. Therapists including but not limited to: LPCC, LCSW, LMFT, PsyD, PhD, AMFT, MSW, Doctors, Nurse Practitioners, Psychiatrists providing therapy, Associates, Trainees, students/Interns in the mental health field welcome. *Live course meets the qualifications for 5.5 hours of CE - continuing education credit for LMFTs, LCSWs, LPCCs, and/or LEPs as required by the California Board of Behavioral Sciences. CEs may or may not be recognized by other states outside California, depending on each state's licensing requirements. Please check with your respective state board. CE not available for Psychologists since they need an APA approved provider. CE Certificate is $33 extra. What Clinicians/Practitioners are saying:
Differences between modalities: Talk therapy: typically uses CBT, logic, provide perspectives, active and reflective listening - accessing mostly the pre-frontal cortex of the brain. Coping skills to help manage symptoms. Yet, a lot of the trauma is struck in the mid-brain, amygdala, limbic system, even as far back as the brain stem - not easily accessed by talking things out. Many clients wonder why traditional talk therapy hasn't led to resolution from past traumas - this is one reason. CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy): Thoughts, feelings and actions are related to each other. CBT tries to challenge automatic negative thoughts, cognitive distortions and negative core beliefs of oneself and the world around them. CPT: Cognitive Processing Therapy, is a type of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) used to treat PTSD by helping individuals change unhelpful thoughts about trauma. 1 trauma event/memory can take about 12 sessions, home work for the client is required (possible impediment/limitation to the approach), clinician helps client identify and challenge stuck points (negative beliefs about oneself, others, or the world that resulted from a traumatic event). EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) Tapping: Use of tapping on acupunctural spots on the body paired with scripted statements that help clients process past traumas in the structured way. Concepts from the following modalities can be observed in AR: Mindfulness: Taking time to be present, aware of thoughts and observing feelings and sensations non-judgmentally. Use of intentional deep breathing. I appreciate the 9 Attitudes of Mindfulness from Dr. Jon Kabat Zinn. Prolonged Exposure (PE) Therapy: Helps people gradually face their fears, disturbing traumas or experiences gradually. Imagined exposure (in vitro) and real life exposure (in vivo). EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) helps people heal from trauma and distressing life experiences by reprocessing memories, reducing their emotional impact so they no longer trigger the intense distress or negative beliefs associated with them, using bilateral stimulation like eye movements or bilateral tapping. Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) an improved version of EMDR, I find it faster and easier to use than EMDR. Left and right eye movements are facilitated by the hand of the therapist along with guided exercises. Flash Technique (FT) Involves guided and slow left and right eye movements, prompts of positive engaging thoughts and eye blinks. A unique and rapid approach to trauma. Somatic Experiencing (SE) is a body-oriented therapeutic model that treats trauma and stress-related disorders by focusing on bodily sensations rather than just thoughts or memories. It works by releasing trapped, unresolved tension in the nervous system—often caused by traumatic events—through a process of grounding, titration (processing small amounts), and pendulation (moving between states of tension and safety).
