Course overview
In the Fifth module of our program, we will embark on a quick start guide to Trauma and dissociation. Recognizing the importance of laying a foundation before coaching clients with dissociation, we will explore the common denominator in dissociation and present two options to help clients recognize and understand their experiences.

  • Exams:1
  • Video time: 3 hours
Next, we will delve into the neuroscience of dissociation, examining the neuroscience model and the defense cascade model. We will provide practical applications to assist clients in building resilience and guiding the brain to release its "on" button. Furthermore, we will break down the neuropsychological functions related to dissociation, enabling clients to grasp the multifaceted nature of dissociation and offering practical tools for their understanding and application.

The topic of Structural Dissociation holds profound significance, with its multiple layers and components. We will explore the apparent normal person and emotional person within the framework of structural dissociation. Additionally, we will delve into Fraser's Dissociative Table Technique, the true meaning of integration in the context of dissociation, warning signs of structural dissociation, the various names and layers of dissociation, and engage in authentic conversations between individuals with Dissociative Identity Disorder (D.I.D.) and professionals. This module will cover the seven types of dissociation and provide questions for clients to determine if they are experiencing dissociation.

Guiding clients in developing an internal safe space will be our next step. We will address the essential dimensions that complex trauma coaches need to effectively navigate when working with individual clients in this area. As we venture into new internal territories with our clients, we will provide step-by-step guidance through an ebook and individual slides to support their unique process.

Dissociation often disrupts our motivation, leaving us bedridden or struggling to get through the day. Through trauma-informed Motivational Interviewing, we will explore how coaches can build understanding and implement strategies to address demotivational behaviors. Worksheets and client engagement in this module will provide new insights and foster behaviors that support clients in their ongoing recovery journey, minimizing the feeling of taking one step forward and two steps back.

Finally, we will engage in our second case study, focusing on the experiential learning cycle. We will explore the questions that arise from following this cycle and provide practical applications to apply in clients' recovery journeys. This module encompasses all the tools acquired from previous core units, accompanied by a full-length case study that offers valuable learning experiences.

"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 Meredith is a gift to the world and this one-of-a-kind complex trauma certificate program is exactly what I need at this point in my life. Thanks Linda for what you do!"

“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!.”
