Safety, Consent, and Boundaries in Trauma Work
A free live seminar for therapists, coaches, and healers
Tuesday, September 16 • 11:00am PT / 2:00pm ET
Replay included
Every practitioner has had the experience of a client saying “yes” on the outside while their body quietly says “no.”
The breath changes.. Their eyes become glazed. Hesitations interrupt their speech. They’re a little too happy with everything you do.
These moments are easy to miss, especially when we’re focused on applying a technique or guiding a process. But they’re also some of the most important signals we’ll ever get. They tell us whether safety is present—or slipping away.
Learning to recognize and respond to these subtle cues is what separates trauma-informed practice from well-meaning practice.
That’s the focus of this free seminar.
In this 75-minute live session, I’ll dive into:
How to recognize minimal cues and subtle communication
Why consent is not a one-time agreement but a living, ongoing practice
How working with clients’ subtle communication heals boundary violations
Common ways retraumatization happens, often unintentionally
Live demonstrations so you can see these principles in action
