Comments from Past Participants
“The quality of the course was obvious even as
it was launched. This is on the cusp of innovation and
is applicable in a wide array of arenas.”
- Rick Ritter, LCSW, CT; President, Green Cross Projects
“Excellent opportunity not just to come out of
compassion fatigue, but to enter a transformative process.”
- Carlos Velazquez-Garcia, MA, MATS; Clinical Psychologist,
San Juan, Puerto Rico
“Wow, what a different way of looking at compassion
fatigue; as a positive catalyst for change and improvement
in ones life, rather than an end or destructive force.”
- Libby Royer, LCSW, Road to Recovery
“I think this program is a must for all professionals
working in a trauma setting whether medical, mental
health or emergency services.”
- Ronald D. Davenport, LPC, CEAP; FBI, Reg. EAP Mgr.
“[Trauma Practice] both addresses what we know
today at a theoretical level and, equally importantly,
explains clinical methods in the context of treatment
… [It] offers a comprehensive guide for clinicians
working with the traumatized … also an excellent
resource for trainers, teachers, and educators of trauma
practitioners.”
- Charles R. Figley, PhD, Florida State University,
Traumatology Institute, Tallahassee, FL
“Built on a strong empirically based foundation,
[Trauma Practice] is a must … for all therapists
working with survivors of traumatic events.”
- Mark D. Lerner, PhD, President, American Academy
of Experts in Traumatic Stress
“This is how to present a ‘how to’
… It is a comprehensive step-by-step description
of tools for the practitioner [...] drawn mainly from
cognitive behavioral approaches [...]. Each application
is labeled according to its fit with the three “necessary
ingredients” of relaxation, exposure, and cognitive
restructuring. [...] There are exercises for the client
and for the therapist … which can be immediately
used in the clinical setting.”
- Louis W. Tinnin, MD, Founder and Medical Director
of the Trauma Recovery Institute, Morgantown, WV
