A free 60-minute training for therapists, counsellors, coaches and mental-health professionals who want to work with more clarity, more safety and far less emotional strain.
What If Trauma-Informed Practice Isn’t What You Think It Is?
A free 60-minute webinar for clinicians who want to work more safely, more effectively, and with far less emotional strain.
In this webinar you’ll learn:
- Why common “clinical challenges” are actually survival states
- The two biggest trauma-informed shifts every clinician must make
- How to reduce shame in the room through language
- Why YOU are the safety your clients feel
- How to work without burning yourself out
Why This Webinar Matters
Clinicians Are Working With Trauma Every Day…
But Most Were Never Taught How Trauma Actually Works
If you were never trained to understand survival responses, co-regulation, or how trauma shows up in the body, you’re not alone. Most clinicians weren’t.
- Misinterpreting protectors as resistance
- Working too cognitively
- Unintentionally overwhelming clients
- Feeling drained or stuck
- Taking client behaviour personally
- Feeling like you “should” know what to do
It’s not your fault. You were never given a trauma-informed foundation. This webinar gives you that foundation.
The Core Trauma-Informed Shifts That Transform Clinical Work
In this live session, you will learn:
1. Symptoms as Survival
Why shutdown, panic, anger, avoidance, or fawn patterns aren’t resistance, they’re protection.
2. The Five Survival States
Fight, flight, freeze, flop, fawn, and how to recognise them instantly.
3. You Are the Safety
How your presence, breath, pace, and tone shape the entire therapeutic environment.
4. Trauma-Safe Language
Simple changes that reduce shame and increase trust.
5. What Happens When You Meet the State, Not the Story
The one shift that immediately makes your work deeper and safer.
This Webinar Is For You If…
You are a:
- Therapist
- Counsellor
- Psychotherapist

- Addiction or mental health professional
- Frontline practitioner supporting emotional complexity
And you want to:
- Understand trauma more clearly

- Build deep emotional safety
- Feel more confident and grounded
- Avoid unintentional-shaming
- Work in a way that honours the nervous system
Why This Webinar Is Not Like Most Trauma Trainings
Most trauma trainings drown you in technical terms and complex theory.
This one doesn’t.
- No jargon
- No clinical overwhelm
- No 20-step models
- No hyper-technical neuroscience
Just a warm, grounded, human exploration of what actually happens inside you and your client during sessions.
This is the trauma-informed foundation every clinician was meant to receive, taught in a way that feels practical, embodied, and immediately usable.
“You are the safety. Your nervous system is the intervention.”
Working with trauma asks so much of us.
And yet most of us were never given the tools to understand what we were seeing.
This webinar is my invitation to you to slow down, explore the nervous system with kindness, and see your clients, and yourself, through a new lens.
Working trauma-informed doesn’t make the work heavier.
It makes it lighter, clearer, and far more humane.

Hi, I'm Lou Lebentz!
I'm an award-winning trauma-informed psychotherapist, clinical supervisor, international speaker and educator with over 25 years experience and I now help other clinicians to deepen and expand their practice without overwhelm.
I understand what it's like to feel called to deeper work but overwhelmed by complex training requirements. Whether you're a seasoned professional wanting to integrate parts work, or a newer practitioner seeking accessible tools, I believe everyone deserves practical, heart-centered methods that actually work.
Through decades of practice, I developed The Voyage® - a globally recognised framework that makes parts work accessible to any helping professional, regardless of their background or training level. I've now helped thousands of professionals worldwide, from experienced therapists to newly qualified coaches - move beyond surface-level approaches and confidently navigate even complex client presentations.
