Upcoming Events
Healing Trauma, Restoring Connection
8–9 November 2025 | Crows Nest Community Centre, Sydney
Join international trauma and couples therapy expert Maureen McEvoy (Canada) for an immersive two-day workshop open to all therapy modalities. This masterclass integrates neuroscience, attachment theory, somatic and creative tools, providing practical takeaways that you can apply immediately in the therapy room.
- Open to Imago, EFT, PACT, Gottman, Art Therapy, and trauma-informed practitioners, both experienced relationship therapists or couples curious counsellors
- Learn to navigate reactivity, shutdowns, looping arguments, and trauma responses in couples work
- Refresh your practice with co-regulation tools, session structure guidance, and body-based interventions
Why This Workshop?
Couples therapy can feel like sailing stormy seas when trauma enters the room. As an Imago, EFT, Gottman, PACT, or creative therapist, you need tools that address the nervous system, not just the narrative.
This practical two-day training will give you somatic, attachment-based, and trauma-informed tools that deepen connection and regulate emotion, even in the most reactive couples.
