Upcoming Training Opportunities
RTM (Reconsolidation of Traumatic Memories)
Reconsolidation of Traumatic Memories (RTM) is a new neurological intervention treatment tool for PTS/PTSD that therapists will want to have in their toolkit. It enables practitioners to completely clear traumatic feelings (fear, terror, helplessness) associated with traumatic events. The RTM training is a 3 Day, in-person seminar, that teaches and supports clinicians to use this novel neurological intervention. RTM has been developed and rigorously researched in the past 10 years, see RTM Research by clicking HERE. RTM is novel in that it keeps clients relatively comfortable, and completely remits PTSD in over 90% of cases in just three to four sessions per memory.
Upon completion of the training, attendees will be able to use the RTM protocol proficiently, getting remission of PTSD diagnosis in better than 90% of their cases. Clinicians who have taken the course consistently report that having this PTS/PTSD intervention in their therapist toolkit has been a big boost to their practices and their ability to address PTSD, PTS, anxiety, phobias, and trauma. To learn more, read the article published in the Washington Post by clicking HERE.
Practitioners from all over the globe, including many in the United States are now trained in RTM. The quality of this training class has been evaluated by trainees at 9.5 or above out of 10 for both the training course delivery and the RTM Protocol efficacy. The subsequent certification process is simple, free, and supported by RTM coaches.

MBSEP (Mindfulness Based Somatic Emotional Processing)
MBSEP was developed by Dr. Robert Weisz, PhD. It is a mindful, body centered approach to activating intrinsic emotional processing in the brain. The processing is activated and maintained by the client’s and the therapist’s mindful, felt sense attention upon the client’s somatic experience. A focus on tender, compassionate awareness creates a special quality of attention which helps to activate the healing process.
Described by therapists who have been trained to use it, MBSEP is not only one of the therapeutic tools they use most with their clients, it is a way of being as a therapist, and a way to be with ourselves as therapists.
By the end of this training, attendees will learn how MBSEP works, how to use it, and they will have ample opportunity to practice it.
Training Dates & Times:
March 5th & 6th, 2026
8:30AM – 4:00PM (MST)
Location: The Evolution Group, Inc., Albuquerque, NM
Ethics In Supervision
Clinical supervision is a key element in supporting therapists in our field. As Clinical Supervisors, we are encouraged, and now required, to look more deeply at our ethical practices.
But sitting through 6 hours of supervision ethics all at once is a daunting thought for most. So we came up with an idea that might interest you. First we found a compelling speaker on the topic of supervision and supervision ethics; Dr. Kris Goodrich PhD, then we broke it up into two sessions, online.
There will be a mix of didactic, case studies, and audience participation to keep attendees engaged with real life ethical clinical situations that are addressed in the field.
Training Dates & Times:
July 11th & July 18th, 2025
11:00AM – 2:00PM (MST)
Location: Online/Google Meets
