SUMMARY:Healing Betrayal and Trauma Grief – Free Training with David Kessler and John & Julie Gottman
DESCRIPTION:When betrayal or loss shatters the ground beneath a client’s life, it can feel like there’s no reliable path forward. Therapists often find themselves navigating raw emotions, ruptured trust, and the somatic shockwaves that grief and trauma leave in their wake.\nIn this free, live online training, you’ll learn directly from pioneers whose work has transformed our field: Drs. John and Julie Gottman on healing after infidelity — and David Kessler with Paul Denniston on the tender intersection of grief and trauma. You’ll come away with evidence-based protocols, embodied practices, and clinical tools you can use right away.\nWhether you support couples in the aftermath of an affair or individuals carrying profound loss, this program weaves research-backed methods with compassionate, practical guidance. You’ll gain clarity about what actually helps… and how to pace and sequence interventions so clients feel safer, stronger, and more connected.\nJoin a global community of practitioners committed to ethical, heart-centered care — and receive 14-day replay access so you can revisit key insights and apply them with confidence.\nRegister Here For Free\n\nQuick Links:\n\nWhy Attend ( #why )\nWhat You’ll Learn ( #what )\nWho Should Attend ( #who )\nAbout Your Facilitators ( #teacher )\nFAQ ( #faq )\nRegister Here for Free\n\n\nWhy Attend “John & Julie Gottman and David Kessler on Healing Betrayal Trauma & Grief”\n\nAffairs can feel like the kryptonite of love — quickly de-skilling even seasoned clinicians. In their keynote, Drs. John and Julie Gottman share new findings from a six-year randomized controlled trial and walk you through an evidence-based protocol for restoring safety and rebuilding trust.\nYou’ll learn how to pace disclosure, repair, and reconnection so couples can emerge more resilient.\nGrief and trauma often walk hand in hand. David Kessler and Paul Denniston will help you recognize traumatic grief, differentiate prevention from postvention, and engage somatic practices that release what’s stuck in the body. You’ll gain practical strategies for complex losses — including sudden death, suicide, addiction, or long illness.\nAcross both sessions, you’ll receive step-by-step tools you can use immediately: structured dialogues, attunement practices, and body-based methods that help clients regulate, reconnect, and reimagine their future.\nExpect clarity, compassion, and interventions that honor both science and the human heart.\nRegister Here For Free\nWhat You’ll Learn\nIn the immediate aftermath of betrayal, couples need containment, safety, and a map. You’ll explore a research-backed protocol that helps you stabilize sessions, pace disclosure, and rebuild a foundation of trust without rushing reconciliation. We’ll practice therapeutic dialogues that lower reactivity, invite accountability, and foster empathy so partners can begin to tell the truth, hear each other, and imagine a path forward.\nWhen grief intertwines with trauma, stories can heal—or keep clients stuck. You’ll learn how to discern when to gently engage the narrative of loss and when to shift toward present-moment regulation and embodiment. We’ll integrate movement, breath, and mindful awareness to metabolize shock and guilt, release frozen grief in the body, and restore a felt sense of connection and meaning.\nEthical sequencing matters as much as technique. You’ll learn to assess readiness, titrate interventions, and create individualized plans that weave cognition, emotion, and somatic work. We’ll clarify scope of practice, identify referral points, and structure follow-up so clients feel resourced, respected, and strong enough to grow at a sustainable pace.\nHere’s just a bit more of what you’ll learn:\n\nNew insights from a six-year randomized controlled trial on affair recovery\nA stepwise protocol for rebuilding trust after infidelity\nStructured dialogues that lower arousal and increase connection\nSomatic techniques to release grief stored in the body\nHow to discern prevention vs. postvention — and why it matters\nSupport for complex loss: sudden death, suicide, addiction, or long illness\nWhen story heals and when it hinders — pacing narrative wisely\nPractices to stabilize the nervous system and foster hope\nEthical guidelines for scope of practice and referrals\nHow to integrate learning into ongoing treatment plans\n\nRegister Here For Free\nWho This Training Is For\nThis training is designed for mental health professionals who support couples or individuals facing rupture, loss, and the long tail of trauma. If you value research-grounded methods paired with compassionate, embodied care, you’re in the right place.\nIt’s also an excellent fit for coaches, chaplains, and healing arts practitioners who want clear frameworks and practices they can use within their scope. You’ll gain tools you can apply immediately — and principles that will continue to serve your clients for years.\nThis training is especially suited for:\n\nCouples therapists and relationship counselors\nGrief, trauma, and bereavement specialists\nPsychologists, MFTs, LCSWs, LPCs, and counselors-in-training\nCoaches, chaplains, and peer-support facilitators\nYoga, somatic, and mind-body practitioners\nClinic directors and group practice leaders\nProfessionals seeking CE-ready training options\nAnyone supporting clients after affairs, loss, or traumatic events\n\nRegister Here For Free\nAbout John & Julie Gottman and David Kessler (with Paul Denniston)\nJohn Gottman, PhD, is a renowned psychologist and researcher whose decades of laboratory and clinical work have reshaped couples therapy.
