Testimonials

“The faculty of the Complex Trauma Training Institute are more responsible than anyone for spearheading the translation of complex trauma theory to real life practice across systems, service settings and client populations. The CTTI faculty are consummate professionals, and it’s been my honor to collaborate with them. Now that they’ve decided to join forces, I have no doubt CTTI will become the nation’s go-to resource for trauma-informed and complex trauma-focused training, clinical supervision and organizational consultation.”

“PTSD is the tip of the iceberg for the trauma-impacted clients we serve. Complex trauma provides a strengths-based frame that accounts for the life adversities our clients have had to overcome, as well as their historical and ongoing societal underpinnings. Understanding our client’s risk behaviors as survival adaptations has been pivotal to treatment progress and lasting change. Complex trauma interventions gradually transform problem behaviors and symptoms by building our client’s capacities and instilling a sense of personal agency, worth and purpose.”

“For many years, finding a therapist who really “got me” seemed impossible. Turns out I needed one that really understands complex trauma, and especially someone open to learning about and working with all parts of whom I am. It makes my heart happy to know that an affiliation of practicing complex trauma therapists has been established. This work is hard—I know firsthand. It’s important that therapists doing this work don’t become isolated or stuck in outdated ways of thinking.”
