When you do this trauma therapy training, you gain:
• A body-based method that helps clients regulate faster
• A clearer roadmap for working with trauma and implicit memory
• Tools to reduce overwhelm and reactivity
• More confidence with complex trauma, dissociation and attachment wounds
• A modality that supports deep, lasting healing
• A way of working that is gentle for both client and therapist
How Lifespan Integration Training Works
LI training is highly experiential and focused on practical skill development. You’ll learn step by step how to guide clients through the LI timeline method, recognise shifts in the nervous system and support integration safely and effectively.
Training includes demonstrations, clinical guidance, practice sessions and opportunities for supervision, so you leave feeling prepared rather than overwhelmed.

Our LI therapist training pathway includes 4 levels, each building towards full competency in the LI method. Below is a brief overview of each level. Each level has its own full page with dates, details and requirements.
