Trauma, Development, and Neuroplasticity

Join Dr. Ruth Lanius for a six-part series exploring how the brain is affected by—and can recover from—trauma. 

Designed for trauma therapists, this intermediate course focuses on how critical brain systems can be restored through effective treatment. Discussed during this course are approaches used by clinicians and researchers including present- and past- centered therapies, mindfulness training, body-oriented approaches, neurofeedback, heart rate variability training, brain stimulation, EMDR, and CBT/prolonged exposure.

Why This Course?

Dr. Ruth Lanius is a clinician scientist, Psychiatry Professor and Harris-Woodman Chair in Mind-Body Medicine at Western University of Canada, where she is the Director of the Clinical Research Program for PTSD. Dr. Lanius has published over 250 research articles and book chapters focusing on brain adaptations to psychological trauma and novel adjunct treatments for PTSD. 

What to Expect

Across seven hours of lecture and Q&A, Dr. Lanius shares with participants how major brain networks influence an individual's sense of self, how treatment interfaces with the brain, and how clinicians can support healing from trauma.

Some questions this course will help participants to address include:

  • How can learning about the reptilian brain help in understanding the effects of trauma?

  • How should we approach eye contact with traumatized individuals?

  • How does sensory processing impact development of the traumatized self?

  • How are brain networks affected by trauma?

  • How is the sense of self disrupted by trauma?

  • How can therapy help to restore a sense of self after trauma?

  • What therapeutic modalities help in recovery from trauma?

Participants that complete this course and its assessments are eligible for 6 Continuing Education (CE) credit hours for their participation.

Course Updates & Information We notify participants via the EEG Learn website and by email when changes or updates are made to a course. Most of the time, this will be notifying participants that new handouts or information about the course is available. We try to avoid larger changes, but sometimes things like the presenter’s schedule require that. In those cases, we’ll extend the ability to defer or refund attendance, as appropriate. 

Session Recordings All sessions are recorded and will be available on EEG Learn following the course, usually within 1-2 weeks of when a live session happens. Please note that live attendance & participation is required to complete some courses, but most you can watch back at your own pace, or catch up on sessions that you miss. When session recordings become available, we’ll notify participants.

We make an effort to not include participants in the final session recordings for comfort and privacy reasons, but please be aware that audio, video, and chat messages you share may be present in the final session recordings. Situations where this may happen include: volunteering a question in chat or by raising your hand, leaving your microphone unmuted, or sharing information with the group.

If you would not like to be featured in the final session recording, please communicate with a member of our team during the live session. You may also reserve any questions or contributions until after the course to share and discuss on our community forum, an open space for ongoing discussion with staff, participants, and many of the presenters & mentors that we work with.

What People Are Saying:

Ruth's work and the emerging sense of self is what reaches me the deepest and what I relate to personally. Ruth points out that individuals with developmental trauma may have never developed a sense of self. Individuals with later trauma have lost their sense of self. She said those of us with developmental trauma are trying to give birth to a sense of self. She differentiated developmental trauma from later life trauma. "Give birth to a sense of self" - respectful and beautiful. Instead of referring to us as people without a body, without a self, needing restoration - she sees us as trying to give birth to a sense of self. I felt no stigma.
