Weekly implementation meetings to deepen your understanding of materials with collaborative community.
Ongoing access to course materials and session recordings.
Cheatsheets, handouts, guides, and more!
It's time to take what you've learned to the world.
What is included in the Advanced Professional Training?
You will receive the Advanced Professional program. This is where we take the information from the Professional level and give you what you need to directly implement the materials into your practice through handouts, protocols, guides, and assessment forms.
What you get:
- The step-by-step process to organize and assess information about a client
- The process and support to put together a comprehensive treatment plan that addresses biology work, as well as somatic work and parts work, to specifically work through stress and anxiety.
Dr. Aimie’s actual assessment forms – Dr. Aimie will be giving you the assessment forms she uses when walking clients through identifying and completing the stress response. Not only will she be giving you these forms, but helping you know the relevance of the questions on the assessment forms, how to interpret them, and how to create a comprehensive treatment plan from these assessment forms.
Step-by-step case studies – Dr. Aimie will walk you through a real case study showing you all of their assessment forms, how to identify the best starting place, and how to pull it all together for a comprehensive treatment plan.
Aside from this, you will receive access to the new Stress Module content – You will have access to all of the updated Professional Training content, including handouts, videos, bonuses, and guidance through the 6 steps of biology work, somatic work and parts work.
What you get:
- New content specific to Advanced Professionals that shows you how to identify, assess and address a true physiologic stress pattern in your client/patients
- A model of exactly where to begin in addressing a chronic stress pattern and persistent anxiety with your client/patients
Who is this journey for?
