Your Roadmap to Lisa Ferentz's Attachment Trauma Program
This program is divided into three parts: Assessment, Attachment Repair, &
Powerful Trauma Healing.
PART I: Trauma-Informed Assessments
2 Modules
2 Modules
Discover how to apply attachment-informed concepts throughout the therapy process — including how to do a safe, effective intake assessment, gather important historical and family-of-origin information, and more. You'll learn what to do when inadvertent triggering occurs, how to be culturally sensitive in your communication, and how to gather important information in ways that are reparative rather than retraumatizing.
As part of this module, you'll also get access to the latest neuroscience insights on trauma, so you'll better understand the cognitive and emotional conditions that need to be in place for your clients.
Module 1
- Being a trauma-informed therapist
- What is the mental health field getting wrong when treating trauma?
- The rationale for a “trauma-informed” assessment
- Setting the stage
- Less threatening assessment questions
- Slowing down the runaway train
- Inherent challenges in the assessment process
Module 2
- Treatment from the clinician's perspective vs the client's perspective
- The impact of cultural differences
- Assessment and counter-transference
PART II: Attachment and Its Impact on Affect Regulation and
Dysregulation
2 Modules
2 Modules
In this part of the training, you'll discover the pivotal role that family-of-origin attachment has on a client's ability to self-soothe, regulate their emotional states, and allow for trust and vulnerability in all their subsequent relationships. You'll also gain key insights into working with clients whose early attachment has been with caretakers who are emotionally unavailable or toxic…
…and you'll learn how to make sure that clients are in the optimal window during sessions so that insight and integration can occur.
Module 1
- In the beginning: infants and attachment
- Processing insecure attachment patterns
- Processing disorganized attachment

- Inevitable, necessary, creative childhood coping strategies
- The adult manifestations of childhood abuse and neglect
PART III: Using Parts Work and Creative Modalities to Enhance Affect
Regulation
3 Modules
3 Modules
In this section, you'll experience a wide range of creative treatment strategies designed to help traumatized clients develop and enhance affect regulation skills. These strategies will help to promote internal safety, grounding, containment, self-soothing, self-compassion, and emotional stabilization.
You'll learn and practice powerful trauma healing interventions, including: "parts work" strategies, the creation of a safe place; soothing breath work; somatic resourcing; journaling and creative cognitive re-framing; using art therapeutically; and flashback halting protocols. You'll also hear about the power of integrating the left and right hemispheres of the brain for deeper processing and healing.
Module 1
- Creating safety
- Incorporating a "parts" perspective
Module 2
- Addressing the two antidotes to shame: curiosity and self-compassion
- Trauma and somatization
Module 3
- Using art therapeutically
- Working with dissociation
- Summarizing how to best help traumatized clients

Cultivating Post-Traumatic Growth: Hope from the Very First Sessions
Have you ever been working with a traumatized client, compassionately bearing witness to their symptoms, but unable to shake the feeling that you’re overly focusing on their pain? You’re not alone. We all want clients who’ve survived trauma to chart a path forward. Fortunately, there are ways to help them heal and grow while still acknowledging what happened to them---even in the very first sessions. In this experiential recording, we’ll explore creative ways to help trauma survivors navigate the impact of traumatic events while guiding them to a place of newfound hope, resiliency, and healing. You’ll learn:
- Why the meaning clients attach to trauma is so important
- How to incorporate the body in trauma work, plant the seeds of hope in your earliest sessions, and identify and nurture tangible markers of post-traumatic growth
- Creative strategies like internal and external resourcing, before-and-after imagery, two-handed writing, and future-self visualizations
Guilt, Shame, and the Traumatized Client: Finding Release from Toxic
Emotions
Although trauma can affect clients’ inner lives in countless ways, most survivors grapple with deep-seated feelings of guilt and shame. Until these powerful and debilitating emotions are specifically addressed, it’s difficult for clients to fully heal. In this recording, learn how to compassionately help clients understand the root causes of shame and guilt, and offer creative strategies for releasing themselves from the grip of these toxic emotions. You’ll explore:
- The difference between guilt and shame, and why shame is so difficult to resolve
- The specific dynamics of trauma and early childhood coping strategies that promote and sustain shame
- How secondary gain and “protective parts” affect clients’ willingness to let go of shame
- How to cognitively, somatically, and creatively enhance the two antidotes to shame: self-compassion and curiosity
