Training opportunities within the five-model framework

All trainings and workshops are based on an integrative five-model framework that views human development, trauma, dissociation and healing as fundamentally relational and developmental processes. The central goal is to support professionals and organizations in creating enriched relational environments in which regulation, development and healing can unfold. Regardless of the theme or format, each training consistently integrates three interrelated components:

1. Theoretical basis - clear developmental and relational frameworks

2. Experiential learning - embodied and relational exercises

3. Practice and application - clinical material, case studies and concrete translation to daily practice

Formats and customization

Trainings may take the form of keynote lectures, conference presentations, workshops, clinical training, team training, academic contributions or longer educational programs. Topics can be broad or very specific, such as the elderly with dementia and late-onset trauma, self-harm and attachment trauma, prenatal trauma, institutionalized children, complex dissociation or intergenerational trauma.

All workshops are customized and always take into account:

Your specific clinical or organizational questions
- the developmental level of the target population
- and the relational environment in which the work takes place.

I work with audiences of all ages, from young children to the elderly. All trainings are customized in consultation with the organizers and always start from the concrete questions, contexts and challenges present in the field.
