Module 1 | From Pain to Pleasure
Esther Perel, MA, LMFT
In this first module, your world-renowned eroticism expert Esther Perel and sex therapist Holly Richmond will show you how to access eroticism as the catalyst that stimulates recovery from trauma.
When clients experience deep wounding or traumatic stress, that erotic self often goes into hiding. Instead of viewing the re-emergence of eroticism as an outcome that happens at the end of trauma treatment, this session will explore what happens when we treat it as the beginning point of healing.
Module 2 | Esther Perel's Trauma and the Roots of Infidelity in-session demonstration
Esther Perel, MA, LMFT
In this module from Esther Perel's groundbreaking Master Class, you'll join Esther in-session with a gay couple whose relationship has been impacted by trauma. One of the partners has a history of PTSD and substance abuse, and it's recently been discovered that he's had multiple affairs. Experience how Esther helps the couple to better understand the trauma and its triggers, and how she creatively guides the couple towards a fuller, more open relationship.
Module 3 | Healing Trauma in Couples Therapy
Janina Fisher, PhD
Childhood trauma leaves survivors with a fundamental mistrust in the safety of relationships. In this session, trauma pioneer Janina Fisher will demonstrate the importance of somatic communication in helping couples connect. You'll discover how to help partners identify the role of trauma in their troubled relationships, and help them to move beyond their trauma stories and automatic responses to genuine safety and recovery.
Module 4 | Janina Fisher's Working with a Traumatized Couple in-session demonstration
Janina Fisher, PhD
In this session from Janina Fisher's trauma Master Class, you'll meet a couple haunted by deep traumatic wounds — he was verbally abused and kicked out of his home when he was a 10-year-old boy, and she grew up as the victim of an angry, abusive mother.
Discover how Janina brings this traumatized couple back into connection with each other, even after they've experienced hardships in their young relationship.
Module 5 | The Neurobiology of Healing Relationships: Trauma Work Meets Couples Therapy
Terry Real, LICSW
Juliane Taylor Shore, LMFT, LPC
When clients have experienced serious trauma, their brains lose the ability to regulate their emotions, limiting their capacity for intimate relationships. In this session, Terry Real and interpersonal neurobiology instructor Juliane Taylor Shore will teach you evidence-based approaches to overcome trauma.
Module 6 | Terry Real's Working Treatment in Action in-session demonstration
Terry Real, LICSW
Join Terry Real in this Master Class session as he works with Jerome, a combat Marine who radiates anger and feels entitled to control others, especially his wife. With Terry's help, Jerome opens up about his severe trauma history… including a chilling account of witnessing murder and experiencing abuse and criminal neglect. By the end of the session, he willingly commits to treatment to save his marriage and avoid damaging his children.
