Trauma Training for $47: 6 CE-Approved Foundational Courses Every Clinician Should Consider

Most clinicians we talk with do not lack interest in trauma work. What they lack is an affordable, realistic way to keep building on it.

 

You finish graduate training with a foundation, and then the cases keep arriving: the client whose chronic trauma does not respond to symptom-focused work, the one whose dissociation you suspect but feel unsure assessing, the couple whose conflict is really two nervous systems in survival mode. Each one is a reminder of a skill you have been meaning to strengthen. And each time, the same barriers show up. Quality trauma training is expensive. Live trainings demand a cleared calendar. And too much of what is available stays theoretical when what you need is something you can use in your next session.

 

That is the gap these six trainings are built to close.

 

Each one is on demand, so it fits the schedule you actually have rather than the one you wish you had. Each is CE-approved, so the time you invest also keeps your license current. And right now, through our end-of-June pricing, each is available for $47. That price is low enough to make a single training a genuinely easy yes, and low enough to build a real trauma-informed skill set one focused course at a time.

 

This is not about collecting certificates. It is about matching a training to the client in front of you, learning something you can apply on Monday, and doing it without the cost or time commitment that usually stands in the way.

 

Here is what is included, and the clinical reality each one speaks to.

 

Basics of Traumatology | 6 CEs

 

If you want one training to ground everything else, start here. Basics of Traumatology gives you a working foundation in how trauma lives in the body and the nervous system, why traditional approaches sometimes miss it, and what trauma-informed care actually means in practice rather than as a phrase. 

 

It is the orientation that makes every subsequent specialty skill land more clearly, and a solid reset if your formal trauma training was years ago and many cases ago.

 

Best for: clinicians newer to trauma work, or anyone wanting a current, practical refresher on the fundamentals.

Complex PTSD Training | 8 CEs 

 

Complex trauma rarely presents as a clean, single-incident story, and it rarely responds to a symptom-by-symptom approach. This training gives you a phase-oriented framework for chronic, repeated, and developmental trauma: how to think about stabilization before processing, how dissociation fits into the clinical picture, and how to pace the work so a client is not pushed past what they can integrate.

With 8 CEs, it is also the most credit-rich training in the group.

 

 

Best for: clinicians carrying clients whose trauma is layered, long-standing, or stalled in standard treatment.

Dissociation Training | 2 CEs

 

Dissociation is one of the most commonly missed presentations in trauma work, partly because clinicians are rarely taught to assess for it with confidence.

 

This focused training walks through recognizing dissociation, understanding the model of structural dissociation, and treating it safely without destabilizing the client. It is short, specific, and the kind of skill that changes how you hear what clients are telling you.

 

 

Best for: clinicians who suspect dissociation in their caseload but want firmer footing in assessment and treatment.

Trauma-Informed Addiction Treatment Training | 4 CEs

 

 

When substance use keeps returning despite good clinical work, the missing frame is often trauma.

 

This training reframes craving, use, and relapse as survival adaptations rather than failures of will, and gives you a trauma-informed lens for working with addiction that holds both the behavior and what sits underneath it.

 

 

 

 

Best for: clinicians working with substance use, or seeing trauma and addiction intertwined in their caseload.

Trauma-Informed Couples Therapy Training | 4 CEs

 

 

Conflict in the room is often two dysregulated nervous systems reacting to each other, not a communication problem to be coached away. This training integrates polyvagal theory, Emotionally Focused Therapy, and Gottman-informed approaches into a trauma-aware way of working with couples, so you can address the survival responses driving the cycle rather than just the content of the latest argument.

 

 

 

 

Best for: clinicians doing couples work who want a trauma-informed framework underneath it.

Trauma-Informed Eating Disorder Treatment Training | 4 CEs

 

 

Food behaviors are frequently the surface of something older and deeper. This training helps you understand restriction, bingeing, and purging as survival functions with roots in trauma, and gives you a trauma-informed approach to treatment that does not stop at the behavior itself.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Best for: clinicians treating disordered eating, or recognizing trauma beneath food and body struggles.

How to choose where to start

 

You do not need all six at once, and you do not need to take them in order. The simplest approach is the one that mirrors your actual work: pick the training that matches the client who has been on your mind, and start there.

 

If you want a foundation under everything, Basics of Traumatology is the natural first step. If a specific presentation has been challenging you, go straight to the training that speaks to it. And if you are building toward broader trauma competency over time, the whole set forms a coherent pathway you can move through at $47 a step.

 

When you are ready to go deeper than these foundations, they also lead somewhere. Many clinicians use these trainings as a way into the more comprehensive work of our EMDR Basic Training and our EMDR & IFS Practitioner Program, where foundational knowledge becomes a full clinical method.

 

A note on the $47 pricing

 

The $47 price is part of our end-of-June pricing event and will not last beyond it. If one of these trainings has been on your list, this is the moment it costs the least to say yes. Even one focused training is an afternoon of your time and a skill you keep.

 

Building trauma-informed competency does not have to be expensive or slow. Sometimes it is one course, one client in mind, and one step forward.



Build your trauma skills for less, this week only.

 

The Mid-Year Clinical Growth Pricing Event brings all six of these CE-approved trauma trainings to $47 each, on demand and ready when you are. Pick the one that matches the client on your mind, or build the whole foundation one step at a time. This pricing runs through July 7 only.
