Welcome to the Trauma Skills Summit

I’m Dr. Jeffrey Rutstein, and I’m delighted to be partnering with Sounds True as the host of this online event. 

Each day, you’ll hear from two or three experts presenting on a wide range of topics and practices—trauma-sensitive meditation and breathwork, breaking the cycles of trauma, somatic therapies, collective healing, and much more. You’ll explore fascinating theories behind trauma recovery, and you’ll also discover actual tools, skills, and practices that you can begin using right away.

You can access each day’s presentations by navigating to the sidebar found on the left-hand side of this page. New presentations will be released each day and remain available for the duration of our event.

For your convenience and to allow you to go even deeper with these trainings, we’re offering a special upgrade package that gives you lifetime access, downloadable materials, presenter gifts, additional resources, and much more. You can claim this offer anytime before August 31, 2020. 

In some ways, it has never felt more crucial to address the long-lasting and wide-ranging impacts of trauma. Whether you’re a therapist working with clients, an individual seeking personal growth, or a community leader in times of need, I know you’ll benefit from joining us for the Trauma Skills Summit. 

With gratitude,

Dr. Jeffrey Rutstein

Clinical psychologist and host of the Trauma Skills Summit
