Trauma-Informed Training

We are a virtual training company and currently only offer our training programs via Zoom. However, prior to graduation, students participate in an in-person weekend training.

Sessions and training work just as well, if not better, virtually as in-person. “Better” in the sense that distractions are minimized. Being online, we work with just the essentials and focus on the people; in that way, the process has been simplified and can be even more powerful. It works because we don’t have to be in-person to connect—we can see each other on-screen and still resonate for one another.

Absolutely! Many of our students joined the training because they loved the effect of their sessions so much that they wanted to dive deeper for personal reasons. In some cases, somewhere along the way, becoming a facilitator just seemed natural. But in no way are you committed or obligated to becoming a facilitator.

The next training starts In October 2023. 

Many of our facilitators-in-training have busy and complex lives and we are strong supporters of “real life” so we make every effort to allow a reasonable amount of missing sessions. 

While the training is designed to be part-time, allowing you to continue your current work and personal life, it’s important to set up adequate time for the course commitments  - at a minimum four hours a week, including homework and some time for rest, integration, and self-care practices between sessions.

You can prepare for the training by attending Workshops held at the Institute so you became more familiar with iD Sessions. Further, you could read any of Dr. Ruppert's books on trauma.

Set up your Zoom environment to ensure you can be completely private and uninterrupted during classes and iD workshops. Confidentiality is a key component when doing online personal work.

CEUs are not available for the Primary Training at this time, but may be available in the near future. Please contact Marti Hughes at [email protected]  with CEU questions and/or to be notified of CEU opportunities.

Also, you can pay for the Modules as you go so that you can stretch out the payments over time.
