Course overview
In the fourth core unit of our program, we will focus on the impact of complex trauma on the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC). Through a detailed exploration of the ACC, we will uncover the multiple areas affected by childhood developmental trauma. Our goal is to help clients develop new awareness and skill sets to regulate their body, brain, thoughts, emotions, and decision-making processes. To address these areas effectively, we provide a variety of approaches tailored to each specific impact. In fact, we offer eight different workbooks solely dedicated to this particular area, recognizing the deep impact of complex trauma.
  • Video time: 3 hours
  • Exams: 1
  • Portfolio: 1
Next, we will delve into the significance of Polyvagal theory in working with complex trauma clients. Our approach requires a unique understanding of the steps involved in helping clients become aware of their internal experiences and fluctuations within their nervous systems. By facilitating this awareness, we support clients in navigating their healing journey.
While not widely known, the Periaqueductal Gray (PAG) plays a significant role in the lives of individuals who have experienced childhood developmental trauma. It is crucial for both the coach and the client to comprehend the effects of trauma on the PAG and understand the recovery path. Neglecting to address this aspect can perpetuate a life trapped in trauma responses.
Creating a fulfilling life is an active pursuit within the complex trauma recovery process. We introduce the Japanese concept of Ikigai as our first step towards this goal. Ikigai guides individuals in reconnecting with their core self and consciously building a life of joy and purpose. We will explore how to assist complex trauma clients in taking solid steps towards planning their lives and identifying the obstacles that hold them back from manifesting their dreams.
Additionally, we will examine the concept of "flow" in our next module. We will explore what it means to live life in a state of flow and how we can cultivate and maintain it, as those who experience flow are known to lead long and fulfilling lives. Combining the scientific understanding of flow with the Ikigai concept, our clients will be empowered to embrace the life they desire.
Finally, we will delve into our first case study, focusing on the experiential learning cycle. We will explore the questions that arise from following this cycle and how to practically apply it to our clients' recovery journeys. This module brings together the tools and knowledge acquired from the previous core units, providing a comprehensive framework for your case study.

"Linda Meredith is a powerhouse when it comes to bringing research and information together to help us understand complex trauma. More importantly, she breaks things down in a way that is easily accessible with a program that is uber flexible. What that means is that I can take as little time or as much time as I need, depending on the topic and how I engage with it. The homework isn't about regurgitating information or memorizing terminology, but rather how we can embody the knowledge while healing from complex trauma ourselves. In that way, I get ah ha moments about how what I learn can support clients.
An incredibly generous professional who has learned so many things about business the hard way, Linda prolifically creates beautiful templates, workbooks, and packettes of information to make it easier for new coaches to run their business. It's as if she deeply desires for each and every person to succeed as they go out there to support their clients in complex trauma recovery. I feel as though I have Linda 24/7 in my back pocket encouraging me, checking in with me, and supporting me to do what I need to do for my clients.

“Linda has a warm, caring attitude with a sense of humour to boot about the effects of CPTSD on someone. Her insight, videos, articles, and support have helped me over humps and I have seen the effect it has had on others too. Linda speaks not only through her education, but also from her own experience. She understands what brings about CPTSD and how to help you address that trauma in a caring, kind, compassionate, and sometimes firm fashion. I highly recommend her if you are looking to heal from trauma you’ve experienced or even if you’re looking to understand more about what CPTSD. Be kind, be understanding, and do yourself a favour and learn from Linda’s materials!.”
