Transform Lives with Advanced CPtsd Training for Professionals

Are You a Therapist, Counselor, or Coach Seeking Effective Solutions to Help Clients with Complex Ptsd?

Working with clients who suffer from Complex dPost-Traumatic Stress Disorder (CPtsd) due to childhood developmental trauma can be, and has been, one of the most challenging and frustrating experiences for mental health professionals.

Traditional methods often fail to get to the root of the issue, leaving both therapists and their clients feeling stuck and ineffective. But it doesn’t have to be this way.

The CPtsd Challenge: Understanding the Complexity of Developmental Trauma

Complex Ptsd, especially when rooted in childhood developmental trauma, goes beyond the scope of typical Ptsd. Clients experience profound disruptions in emotional regulation, self-perception, and interpersonal relationships that traditional talk therapy approaches don’t reach. This is where the frustration starts for professionals.

Without the right tools and approaches, you may find:
  • Your clients remain stuck in the same emotional patterns.
  • You’re unsure how to effectively address the layers of trauma tied to childhood experiences.
  • There’s a lack of training in how to approach the neuroscience behind trauma, and how it impacts your clients brain and systems as a whole.

When it comes to treating Complex PTSD, especially from childhood developmental trauma, many traditional therapeutic approaches fail to create meaningful, lasting change.

Here’s why the commonly used Top-Down and Bottom-Up methods may not be effective for individuals with deep-rooted trauma:

Top-Down Approach
(Cognitive & Behavioral Strategies)

  • Focus: Aims to reframe negative thoughts and beliefs through cognitive strategies.
  • Depends on the Prefrontal Cortex: This approach relies heavily on the prefrontal cortex, the brain region responsible for higher-level thinking and decision-making.
  • Problem for CPtsd Clients: In trauma survivors, the prefrontal cortex is often disengaged due to the brain’s ongoing focus on survival (fight, flight, freeze). This makes cognitive reprocessing challenging, as their ability to think rationally is compromised.
  • Limited Effectiveness: Clients often can’t reframe negative thoughts during traumatic triggers because their cognitive functions are not fully accessible.
  • Mind-Body Disconnect: Without addressing the body's physical trauma responses, cognitive strategies alone fall short in producing lasting change.

    • Bottom-Up Approach (Nervous System Regulation)

  • Focus: Targets the nervous system to help clients regulate their physiological responses to trauma.
  • Challenges with C-PTSD Clients: Clients with long-term trauma often experience dissociation or chronic disconnection from their bodies, making it difficult to regulate their physiological responses.
  • Numbness and Hypervigilance: Many C-PTSD clients either feel numb to their bodily sensations or experience extreme hypervigilance, which complicates the process of body regulation.
  • Gradual, Lengthy Progress: While the bottom-up approach can help in some cases, it requires a slow and gradual process of reconnecting mind and body — which may not be sufficient for clients dealing with more complex, layered trauma.
  • Long-Term Healing Challenges: Trauma stored in the body requires a more integrated approach, and bottom-up methods often lack the necessary depth to create immediate and lasting breakthroughs.

    • Discover the Side Door Approach: A Revolutionary Path to Trauma Recovery

    Our courses take a revolutionary path with the Side Door Approach, developed by trauma expert Linda Meredith. This neuroscience-based method offers an indirect pathway to trauma recovery, specifically tailored for clients with Complex Ptsd.

    Why the Side Door Approach Works

    • Focus: A neuroscience-based, indirect pathway to trauma recovery that targets the unconscious mind to help clients gently process trauma from within.
    • Works on the Unconscious Level: Addresses trauma at an unconscious level, allowing the brain and body to heal through subtle rewiring, bypassing the need for immediate cognitive or physical regulation.
    • Builds a Sense of Safety: Prioritizes the creation of a safe and nurturing environment that enables clients to gradually relax their nervous systems. This foundational safety is key to addressing trauma without overwhelming the client.
    • Engages in Non-Trauma-Centered Practices: Utilizes creative, mindful, and movement-based activities that avoid directly re-engaging trauma memories. These indirect methods gently retrain the brain and nervous system to develop healthier patterns without triggering emotional overwhelm.
    • Gradual Integration of Mind and Body: Fosters mind-body connection without forcing direct confrontation with traumatic experiences. Clients quickly regain awareness and control over their emotions and physical sensations, building trust in their healing journey.
    • Neuroscience-Driven: Based on cutting-edge neuroscience, tapping into the brain’s natural plasticity and its ability to rewire itself through consistent, gentle interventions. This process allows for a relatively quick unconscious healing process, often yielding faster results compared to traditional approaches.
    • Noticeable Progress: Clients often see tangible results sooner, as the approach ensures the nervous system and mind integrate healing effectively while creating lasting shifts over time.

    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. NeuroSynqt™ 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, NeuroSynqt™ 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.


    NeuroSynqt™ 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.
