A Neurobiological Framework For Understanding And Healing Relational Trauma

This groundbreaking online course offers an essential foundation for anyone working with children, adolescents, or adults affected by relational trauma. Drawing from modern attachment theory, affective neuroscience, and polyvagal theory, this course translates complex research into practical, digestible knowledge that will fundamentally transform how you understand trauma, behaviour, and healing. You will learn how early caregiving relationships shape the developing brain, how affect regulation is the core function of the human attachment system, and why coregulation — not cognition — is the key to recovery from relational trauma. Through engaging modules, real-life case studies, and expert guidance, you will gain a shared language and framework that bridges disciplines and empowers truly trauma-informed care. Whether you’re a therapist, educator, social worker, caseworker, foster carer, or healthcare professional, this course provides the insight and tools you need to better support those with relational trauma histories. No prior training in neuroscience or psychology is required — just a willingness to see trauma through a new lens.
