Forward-Facing Trauma Therapy

Forward-Facing®Trauma Therapy: Healing the Moral WoundCONSULTING SERVICES FOR HEALTH & WELLNESSWhat you'll learnForward-Facing® Trauma Therapy is a 21st Century psychotherapeutic approach to healing the negative effects of trauma and painful past experiences. It was designed as an alternative to current models of treatment that focus upon memory retrieval and processing as the primary method for resolving traumatic stress, FFTT, instead, has utilized a present day in vivo ("in life") approach that provides desensitization and integration of trauma memories while confronting situations here in the present. This method and course will teach licensed mental health and healthcare professionals to implement FFTT into their practice and a potent ancillary to traditional psychotherapy.

However, over the past several years, FFTT has emerged as a method that does not require psychotherapeutic skills or licensure to effectively implement its healing capacity. You will learn how to engage anyone who is struggling with any stress-related issue in a p[process that teaches them the skills to resolve distress and begin a Couse of effective living. This is achieved by teaching clients to self-regulate their own autonomic nervous system and interrupting the involuntary physical and cognitive engagement of the threat response where there is little or no danger.

As survivors begin to master these skills of self-regulation-through the aide of an effective consultant or coach (not necessarily a licensed health professional)-they significantly lessen their distress; restore comfort in their bodies; improve cognitive and motor functioning; and optimize their lives. The very exciting thing about FFTT, which the student of this course will learn, is how when people live in chronically dysregulated autonomic nervous systems then they frequently breach their intention and integrity (i. e.

, "moral wounding). By helping clients develop the capacity for self-regulation and assisting them with clarifying and articulating their intentions (e. g, mission and code-of-honor), they are able to utilize the Forward-Facing™ skills to increasingly and effectively practice principle-based intentional living.
