In the second unit of our program, we will delve into the profound impact of Complex Trauma on the Gut Brain. We will explore how we, as Complex Trauma Coaches, assist our clients in developing the necessary awareness to initiate change in their unconscious and automatic responses. Emphasizing the power of interpersonal neurobiology, we will equip our clients with this valuable tool to support their recovery journey.

Our exploration will also encompass practical applications of the Triangle of Wellbeing and River of Integration. These frameworks will guide our complex trauma clients in navigating information and implementing new skills and strategies tailored to their individual recovery journey.
As Complex Trauma Recovery Coaches, we acknowledge the unique needs of each client, presenting us with the challenge of adapting professional theories to effectively address their specific requirements. To support you in this process, I have compiled a comprehensive slide deck comprising nearly 50 slides and continuously growing. These slides will serve as a valuable resource, facilitating the seamless integration of healthy discovery questions into your coaching sessions. Additionally, they contain prompts to help clients identify areas they would like to focus on for personal growth.
Moving forward, we will delve into specific areas of recovery, including working with inflexible thinking, addressing cognitive distortions, and fostering the development of a strong sense of self. These components are crucial for effective complex trauma recovery. Moreover, we are thrilled to provide you with two new eBooks: "Developing a Sense of Self" and "Strokes of the Mind." These resources offer self-soothing techniques, coloring sheets, worksheets, and invaluable guidance throughout a client's recovery journey.
Lastly, we offer six customizable templates for Homework Books, providing six weeks of structured assignments for your clients. These templates can be easily adapted with your business name and branding, saving you time while ensuring effective processes are in place. All these valuable resources will be at your fingertips, empowering you to issue client homework effortlessly.

Who Are the Courses and Certification For?

The NeuroCore by Linda program offers mental health professionals some of the most practical and effective online education available in the complex trauma field, rooted in neuroscience and trauma-informed practices. Designed specifically for those working with CPtsd clients, particularly those dealing with developmental trauma, the program provides flexible learning options through individual courses or full certification.

Course Eligibility

NeuroCore by Linda courses are open to any professionals currently working with CPtsd clients or those with a background in developmental trauma. These courses are perfect for therapists, trauma recovery coaches, counselors, social workers, and anyone looking to deepen their understanding of advanced trauma recovery practices.

Participants will gain:

  • Practical Tools for Trauma Recovery: Immediate, actionable strategies based on neuroscience and trauma-informed care that can be applied directly in client sessions.
  • A Deeper Understanding of Developmental Trauma: Insight into how trauma affects both the brain and body, and how to promote healing.

No prior certifications are required to enroll, making these courses accessible to any professional who wants to expand their expertise in trauma recovery and help clients achieve lasting, meaningful healing.


Certification Eligibility

The NeuroCore by Linda certification program is open to professionals who are already qualified and have prior experience working with CPtsd clients. This advanced certification is designed for those who are ready to integrate the full NeuroCore modality into their practice.

Certification candidates must meet the following criteria:

  • Prior Experience: Applicants must have a background in working with clients dealing with trauma, particularly CPtsd and developmental trauma. This certification builds on existing knowledge and skills, and as such, prior trauma training is required.
  • Qualified Professionals: The certification is suited for psychologists, therapists, counselors, trauma recovery coaches, and other professionals who already possess foundational knowledge in trauma care.

Since the certification focuses on advanced techniques and integration, it does not include introductory training on working with trauma clients. This ensures that participants are equipped to dive into the deeper, more complex aspects of trauma recovery, gaining expertise in the NeuroCore method for profound client transformation.


Why Choose NeuroCore by Linda?

NeuroCore by Linda is an immersive, neuroscience-based approach designed to address the gaps left by developmental trauma. It equips professionals with cutting-edge tools to help clients rebuild self-regulation, emotional resilience, and cognitive structure. With a gentle "side door" approach, NeuroCore reconnects and integrates the systems that control attention, emotions, movement, relationships, and behavior—without overwhelming clients by directly confronting their trauma.

Mental health professionals, trauma recovery coaches, therapists, and counselors can expect to gain:

  • Advanced Neuroscience-Based Tools: Discover the latest techniques in neuroplasticity and interpersonal neurobiology to help clients move beyond the lasting effects of developmental trauma.
  • Client-Centered, Subtle Approach: Master the NeuroCore method, which carefully bypasses trauma defenses, allowing clients to reconnect their inner systems and achieve long-term well-being.
  • Practical, Applicable Skills: Start applying these strategies immediately in your practice to see real-world results with your clients.

Whether you're looking to deepen your trauma recovery expertise with individual courses or pursue full certification, NeuroCore by Linda provides the skills and confidence to guide your clients toward lasting and profound healing.

Complex Trauma Recovery


An Advanced, Neuroscience-Based Approach for Mental Health Professionals

As a mental health professional, you understand how complex trauma can be, and the significant hurdles your clients face during recovery. NeuroCore by Linda is a powerful, neuroscience-based method created to help you address the lasting effects of developmental trauma (CPtsd) in a more effective way.

This approach combines the brain and body systems to promote deep healing and transformation, helping clients rebuild self-regulation through practical skills and structures for everyday life. Grounded in cutting-edge research on neuroplasticity, interpersonal neurobiology, and somatic integration, NeuroCore offers a unique "side door" strategy. Instead of directly confronting trauma, which can sometimes overwhelm clients, it gently reconnects and integrates systems that manage attention, emotions, movement, thoughts, relationships, and behavior.


NeuroCore by Linda addresses the emotional and cognitive gaps left by developmental trauma, helping clients develop the essential skills that may have been missed during crucial stages of development. This method not only improves emotional regulation and resilience but also gives your clients the tools to bring self-regulation and structure back into their lives.

Linda, a Clinical Complex Trauma Professional (Level 2) trained in Janina Fisher’s trauma programs, draws on years of experience and the latest trauma research. You can view Linda’s full qualifications [here].

    "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.
