Upcoming Training Transforming the Experience-Based Brain
In India

Join the thousands of Practitioners implementing Transforming Touch®'s scientific Regulation-Focused Approach for treating Trauma. Transforming Touch® Practitioners implement a series of Regulation-Focused Enhancements to improve regulation and reduce the effects of early stress and trauma on the nervous system.  Transforming Touch® Regulation-Focused Approach can be a stand-alone treatment modality for treating complex or Developmental Trauma, or it can be used to support the effectiveness of other modalities.  We often discover that those with who experience shock trauma have an underlying developmental trauma.

We offer students several ways to learn Transforming Touch®:  1.)  Transforming Intentional Touch is the primary focus of the Online Learning.  We have found many students are not able to travel for many different reasons.  This way you will complete the Skills Building portion of the training online with other students in breakout rooms over Zoom®.  You will also receive access to in person demos and can ask questions about working in person.  2.) For those considering learning Transforming Touch® in person, we offer a hybrid program to reduce the student's expenses.  The majority of lectures are prerecorded and we ask that you review all the videos prior to the start of the program.  On site, you will work in triads and have some lecture time.  3.)  Independent Learning for those who want to join a class that is in progress or prefer learning on a 1:1, approach where they will work directly with a Senior Assistant for the Skills Building portion of the training.

To reduce your cost of learning Transforming the Experience-Based Brain® and becoming a Transforming Touch® Practitioner, we have designed a two-part training experience for students.  All the lectures are taught through pre-recorded videos online for each of our learning approaches.  The Skill Building portion is taught in-person, online, or 1:1.  This reduces time away from home costs and travel-related costs.

Transforming Touch® Practitioners complete all three modules and show competency during the Skill Building experience along with the following requirements:

1.)  Complete all 3 modules of Transforming Touch® training and be in good standing.

2.) All students my complete 12 hours of personal sessions (with an approved provider) and 6 hours of consultation (you can receive credit with individual consultations with an approved provider or by attending the free consultations with Ellen on Tuesday or Steve or Robin on Thursdays.)

All modules and associated requirements must be completed prior to receiving the Transforming Touch® Practitioner Certificate.

Case Consultation and Personal Session Details

The one-on-one Personal Sessions provided for credit throughout the training are intended as a support for the students’ experiential learning process of Transforming Touch®, although it is understood that these sessions may also contribute to the learner’s personal growth and development.  All information shared with the provider and held strictly confidential.

In a Personal Session, students experience Transforming Touch® from the client perspective, and experience how the Transforming Touch® Practitioner has integrated Transforming Touch® into their practices. The sessions provided in this context allow Transforming Touch® Practitioners to share knowledge and expertise with students as they learn to integrate Transforming Touch® within their scope of practice.

The one-on-one Individual Case Consultations provided for credit through the training give students the opportunity to examine the application of Transforming Touch® with their clients through the services provided by an approved Transforming Touch® Consultation Provider. These Case Consults reinforce the student’s
Transforming Touch® skill development and professional development (i.e., countertransference, scope of practice, etc.).

These Case Consultations are a professional service focused on the application and integration of Transforming Touch® into a student’s professional practice.

Group Case Consultations provided for credit throughout the training include elements of the teaching function; Like Individual Case Consultations, these group consultations provide students the opportunity to examine the application of Transforming Touch® with their clients through the services provided by an approved Consultation Provider as they address the questions of all group participants.

Case Consultations reinforce students’ Transforming Touch® development and professional development (i.e., countertransference, scope of practice etc.).

It is strongly recommended that personal sessions and case consultations are distributed throughout the training as indicated above to receive maximum educational benefit. This will ensure receipt of valuable input and support as students progress through the training.

In the case that all recommended credits are not completed before commencement of the current training year, students may receive sessions and consultations at times that meet the students needs better.
