Where Neuroscience Meets
Soul-Centred Recovery

A Certified Course in Trauma, Neuroscience & Spiritual Integration

Today’s CPtsd clients aren’t just asking for trauma support — they’re searching for meaning, spiritual restoration, and a way to reconnect with their sense of self and purpose. This course delivers exactly that.

This comprehensive training is designed for practitioners who recognise that true recovery from complex trauma must account for more than behaviour patterns. It must include the brain, the body, the soul — and how they’ve each been shaped by trauma.

✅ What You’ll Gain:
  • A neuroscience-backed understanding of how trauma shapes spiritual and religious beliefs — and how to help clients heal without bypassing their pain.
  • Tools to work with the Default Mode Network, Prefrontal Cortex, and limbic areas involved in identity, memory, and spiritual experience.
  • Language and practices to support religious and non-religious clients alike, with clear guidance for working across belief systems.
  • Practical interventions for body-based disconnection, breath suppression, and chronic armouring — all through a trauma-trained, soul-aware lens.
  • Frameworks for restoring soul connection and integrating personal spirituality into recovery work with ethical clarity and cultural competence.
  • A full toolkit to identify, name, and work with spiritual abuse, cultic control, and doctrinal manipulation, alongside strategies to restore client agency, safety, and inner trust.

🔍 Why This Matters for Your Clients:
Clients with CPtsd often wrestle with:
  • Feeling spiritually cut off or 'numb'
  • Experiencing religious trauma and shame
  • Disconnection from faith practices that once brought meaning
  • Breath-holding, shutdown, or panic when asked to "be present"
  • Spiritual bypassing or spiritualisation of abuse history
  • Lack of inner compass due to developmental trauma

You’ll leave this course ready to meet them where they are — whether they need to rebuild their faith, redefine their spirituality, or find a connection with something greater that finally feels safe and true.

👥 Who This Is For:
  • Complex Trauma Coaches
  • Mental Health Practitioners integrating spirituality
  • Pastoral counsellors and faith-based therapists
  • Professionals supporting survivors of spiritual abuse
  • Practitioners ready to ethically and confidently work at the intersection of trauma and soul

🔑 You’ll Walk Away With:
  • A deeply integrated understanding of how trauma impacts brain function and spiritual capacity
  • Techniques to restore embodied spiritual connection without forcing presence prematurely
  • The ability to work confidently with religious and non-religious trauma recovery needs
  • Access to a full library of coaching scripts, client language examples, and neuro-informed practices
  • Certification through the International Complex Trauma Association
🕊️ This is not just a course. It’s a transformation.
Your clients need you to go deeper than affirmations and grounding. They need trauma-trained, neuroscience-informed, spiritually capable professionals who can hold their entire story — including the parts they can't yet name.

Are you ready to become that practitioner?

👉 Enrol now and learn how to guide recovery that bridges the science of the brain and the longing of the soul.

    “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 the impact of CPtsd. Be kind, be understanding, and do yourself a favour and learn from Linda’s materials!.”
