# Event Details - **Event Name**: London Workshop: Trauma, the Brain & Recovery - **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 24 Oct, 2020 at 10:00 am – Sat, 25 Jul, 2026 at 04:30 pm (+01:00) - **Event Description**: We are delighted to invite you to our popular workshop on Understanding and Treating Trauma and PTSD: The T.R.A.U.M.A. Recovery ModelAbout this EventTrauma, the Brain & Recovery: A 6-Hour In-Person Training in LondonA certificate of attendance will be issued for 6 CPD hours. Everyone interested in the subject is welcome. This course is quality-checked by .This course counts 6 hours of study towards our 18-hour Trauma-Informed Certification.The remainder trauma-related courses are below and can be taken in no particular order:Understand trauma. Support recovery. Change how healing makes sense.Trauma affects people in deeply personal and often confusing ways.For some, it shows up as anxiety, shutdown, or emotional overwhelm.For others, it disrupts memory, relationships, identity, and the ability to feel safe — even long after the event has passed.What many people don’t realise is this:These reactions are not signs of weakness or failure.They are signs of a nervous system that has learned to survive.Trauma, the Brain & Recovery is a powerful, in-person training designed to help you understand why trauma affects people the way it does — and how recovery actually works when the nervous system is approached with safety, compassion, and science.This is not about reliving the past.It’s about understanding what’s happening now — and what can change.Who This Training Is ForThis course is intentionally designed to welcome a wide range of people, including:Trauma survivors seeking clarity and reassuranceTherapists, counsellors, and mental-health professionalsCoaches, support workers, and frontline practitionersTeachers, healthcare professionals, and youth workersPartners, family members, and supportersAnyone who wants to understand trauma properly — without jargon or blameNo pressure to share.No expectation to disclose personal experiences.This is a safe, trauma-informed learning space.What You’ll Gain From the DayRather than overwhelming you with theory, this training focuses on understanding, insight, and practical application.By the end of the session, you will:Gain a clear, compassionate understanding of trauma and why it affects people differentlyUnderstand how traumatic stress impacts the brain and nervous system — without being pathologisingRecognise why certain reactions, patterns, and symptoms persist long after danger has passedLearn how recovery unfolds when safety comes firstBe introduced to a clear, step-by-step recovery framework that can be used personally or professionallyLeave with a deeper sense of confidence when supporting yourself or othersThis is about seeing trauma through a new lens — one that replaces confusion and self-blame with understanding and possibility.The T.R.A.U.M.A. Recovery FrameworkA core part of the training is an introduction to the T.R.A.U.M.A. Recovery Framework — a structured, trauma-informed pathway that supports healing without rushing or re-traumatising.The framework offers:A way to think about recovery in clear stages, not quick fixesGuidance for rebuilding safety, support, and regulationA model that works for survivors, practitioners, and supporters alikeA practical lens that can be returned to long after the training endsYou won’t just leave with information — you’ll leave with a map.What Makes This Training DifferentThis is not a surface-level trauma talk.It is:grounded in neuroscience, without being overwhelmingtrauma-informed, not trauma-triggeringpractical, not abstractcompassionate, not clinicalstructured, but humanIt’s designed to help people finally say:“This makes sense now.”What’s IncludedAll participants receive:A comprehensive workbook to support reflection and integrationPrintable handouts for continued learningAccess to guided somatic meditations and nervous-system resourcesTools you can return to at your own paceThe learning doesn’t stop when the day ends.Certification Pathway (Optional)This 6-hour training stands fully on its own.However, for professionals or practitioners who wish to deepen their trauma-informed practice:This course can also count toward our 18-hour Trauma-Informed CertificationIt forms one of three trauma-focused modulesYou can decide later — there is no obligation or pressureIt’s simply an option, not an expectation.Why Attend In PersonThere is something powerful about learning trauma work in the room, together.This in-person London training offers:presencesafetyconnectionclarityspace to integrateMany attendees describe it not just as a course — but as a turning point in how they understand trauma and recovery.If You’ve Been Living in Survival ModeThis training is not about fixing you.It’s about understanding what your nervous system has been doing —and learning how to help it stand down, gently and safely.You’re not defective.You’re not broken.Your system adapted to survive.Now it’s time to learn how recovery actually works.Join Us in LondonTrauma, the Brain & Recovery — In Person👉 Reserve your place now.Spaces are limited to protect the learning environment.Related Training: Understanding Trauma Across the Nervous SystemTrauma does not impact just one area of life. It affects how the brain processes threat, how the nervous system regulates safety, and how the body responds to stress over time.While Trauma, the Brain & Recovery provides a foundational understanding of trauma and its neurobiological effects, some participants find it helpful to explore specific areas in more depth as part of their recovery or professional learning.Depending on your experiences or interests, you may also find the following sessions supportive:• – exploring the neurological and nervous-system impact of prolonged relational trauma and narcissistic abuse• – examining how trauma and chronic stress disrupt sleep and how regulation can support restoration• – a practical, neuroscience-informed session focused on regulation, grounding, and moving the body out of survival modeEach session is educational in nature and designed to complement — rather than replace — the understanding developed in this course.👉 Explore: 👉 Explore: 👉 Explore:https://youtu.be/5KZ8DxcWuBohttps://youtu.be/x5CUkSw4RHYhttps://youtu.be/L_40R1nytH8https://youtu.be/bE2UYWGQXyAhttps://youtu.be/1mCYCMZ_xngTESTIMONIALS: What Previous Attendees Are Saying..."I really enjoyed this course and found the content fascinating! It will help me better understand my friend who has gone through childhood trauma, and I can also directly apply the methods outlined in the ‘accelerating the brain’s healing process’ to myself (am recovering from chronic stress and burnout so this was extremely useful!!)" Mimi M., Business Analyst"Good course, comprehensive. Good to have so much detail about the brain mechanisms, dissociation and recovery. I am extremely grateful to Wale Oladipo for these workshops and resources." Alex W."Thank you for a truly informative and inspiring training day. I learned so much and would say that this is the best training that I have attended in a long time (and I have attended many), in terms of delivery, pace and content. I would not hesitate to recommend this training to anyone who wishes to understand more about Trauma, the brain and recovery. It stands out as Gold Star amidst the sea of training that is currently available." Shirley M., Teacher, Trainer & Therapeutic Counsellor"Thank you so much for that amazing webinar. I am a trauma survivor and feel absolutely amazing after learning more about myself and doing those exercises – I will be doing them for the next 21 days without fail!" 😊 Claire Y."Really recommend the event to anyone interested in trauma. Presenter was great made the even easy to follow by using useful metaphors. I think there was the right amount of interaction to learning ratio and the sessions were really useful and informative." Jamie W. Education Mental Health Practitioner"I thoroughly enjoyed today and have learnt so much as a newly qualified psychotherapist, so I would just like to thank you for holding this hugely enriching workshop. I have found it difficult to encounter training and development opportunities such as those offered by yourselves and will definitely be attending more!" Amrita S. Psychotherapist"Changing the course to on-line was brilliant, especially with the current lockdown scenario. The course content was very insightful, with many useful resources and perspectives that other practitioners can find useful within a counselling context, combined with useful exercises that can help myself/other individuals to defuse the impact of stressful life events. I really enjoyed the course and felt refreshed and feeling I have more tools to add to my toolkit of therapeutic tools." Beverley R., NHS Counsellor,"I thoroughly enjoyed the workshop and found your delivery and content captivating and insightful, both in a deeply personal way and in a very beneficial professional capacity. I was especially taken with just how accessible you made a complex subject with your explanations and analogies. As well as humanising it with your account of your own personal experience! That was particularly profound. Thank you for sharing! I am a policy developer for a UK police force and we are currently working to bring trauma informed practice into our service. I will certainly be advocating your work." Suzi G."Very useful and thought-provoking course with hugely insightful content, which can be adopted in practical ways to support client healing." Hollie P., Trainee TherapistThe webinar was interesting, informative, and gave me a lot to think about. I would recommend it to anyone who feels they want to tackle their trauma, as well as professionals working with those who have experienced trauma." Robin F. Artist Practitioner"I thought the event was wonderful, Wale has so much passion and knowledge and made learning a pleasure. I would recommend this training to my colleagues, but it was also approachable for people with PTSD." Rebecca F., Dance Movement PsychotherapistWould recommend the course / courses provided by Mindbody Breakthrough. Excellent content, delivery, knowledgeable facilitator and no travel due to being an online webinar, affordable prices too, what’s not to like!!" Carole C., Cognitive Behavioural Therapist"Really useful & insightful I really enjoyed the details about the brain which I can use to help to explain to clients that I am working with. Grateful that we will receive the recorded session as it was a lot of information to take in." Katerina D. Assistant Psychologist"Thank you for making this possible online. Going through it on my own pace it was more beneficial than attending face to face. Meditations are great. I am both a professional working with children with autism as a paediatric doctor but also a mum of an autistic boy but I am also a survivor of childhood trauma. I would like to know more about autism and trauma." Dr Andreea G."Thank you so much for an excellent trauma course today. I wasn't quite sure what to expect but it was fascinating and really useful. While face to face is always better the Zoom course worked well and it meant I could go for a quick run in the lunchbreak! I am a critical care paramedic on an air ambulance and I am also the patient liaison clinician, so support our patients and their families after their incident. I therefore have a professional interest in trauma and recovery. I want to be able to recognise when help is required for both my patients who have experienced trauma and my colleagues who have chronic exposure to dealing with it (but will never admit!) I hope that I can signpost them somewhere. I also have a personal interest as I was diagnosed with PTSD 2 years ago after much denial before the freeze response stopped me! I have also had a traumatic birth and so the postnatal depression chat was really interesting. Having had rewind therapy I was really interested to hear the neuroscience behind it. I loved the analogies to the CEO/security guard/filing cabinets and I feel I can use that to try to explain it. Thank you. I think my colleagues could benefit from this day and I will definitely look at your online resources and other courses." Kate A. Paramedic"I’ve just attended (online via Zoom) a training day about Trauma and the Brain. I just wanted to write and say a big thank you to Wale. The course was excellent and I will definitely recommend to other colleagues and professionals. It was well presented and structured and gave me new information as well as reinforcing existing information. Trauma is an area i'm passionate about from a professional and personal point of view so Thanks again Wale - Amazing!" Heather D., Integrative Counsellor"Really great – pitched perfectly with lots of the supporting science. Loved your metaphors which make recall much easier. Thank you." Emma F., Student CounsellorI really enjoyed how the brain functions were explained, how the polyvagal theory was introduced and summarised. The course was very accessible to beginners and I enjoy that we have meditations to try."

It was so nice to touch upon that too and see the links.\" --Anonymous, Sufferer  \"The day was inspiring and thought provoking. The content was supported with facts and a clear process for application, so its more realistic to be able to apply or at least start to apply and move forward. Also good handouts and follow up material. Excellent! Many thanks.\" --J. Douglas, Police Officer (Met Police) \"Extremely happy with the delivery of information. I suffer from anxiety myself and also studying counselling. So it was for personal as well as education advancement.\" --Lesley M., Sufferer/Counselling Student \"I have both anxiety and ADHD and can't get NHS help as I don't have a permanent address. I loved this course! I learnt loads and realised a lot about my past. Even thought there was so much to take in, I was able to concentrate on the things that applied to me which was good.\" --Ellie Rose Guillory, Artist/ Performer \"I came for professional reasons and gained so much in a personal way. Thank you.\" -- Janet B., Programme Lead for Foundation Degree in Counselling “An anxiety course, well presented with encouraging and appropriate content - pitched at the perfect level!” K. Holmes, Physiotherapist, Mum of Autistic Child \"Although I came specifically to support my friend I got so much out of the course myself and tools to use to help other families.\" Esther H., Director of the Square Peg \"Excellent! Very absorbing. I have so much enjoyed this course and I learnt so much despite having attended many seminars over the past 30 years.\" Anonymous, Therapist \"I really enjoyed this course - very worthwhile. The way Wale linked the neurophysiology/science with the psychology/feelings/emotions was excellent..\" Helga W., GP “I was very impressed with the content and the style of presentation. Pitched at the correct level and the atmosphere was relaxed and informal while extremely professional.” - Sarah R., Prof. Dip Psy C (Paediatrics) \"I learned more this afternoon than in 2 years at the university studying CBT. Intellectual but not intimidating. L. Fraser, Private Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapist  \"Delievered in a very engaging and interedting way. Great for everall understanding and tools to equip others for change.\" -- Anonymous, GP “Hi Wale. 3 days on from the course in Sunderland and friends and family can already see the difference in me. I'm calmer and a lot more collected and not as irrational, impulsive or explosive. Thanks so much for opening my eyes to what's going on in my head. Now I have a better understanding, I feel much more empowered to take the control back and get that Amagdala put back in its place. I know it's early days but I'm feeling a lot more grounded and if I have a bad day I feel much better equipped to deal with it. This has opened my eyes in ways I didn't think were even possible. Thanks so much for everything. I haven't managed to incorporate everything yet, but the building blocks are there. It really was a brilliant workshop and one I'm so glad I attended. I've started spreading the word about how wonderful it was and mentioned the webinar and the next course in January to people I know who would benefit from it. Keep up the good work and I hope you have continued success with the workshop. I'm happy for you to put these comments on your website etc if it will help raise its profile. God bless you.” — Anonymous, Sufferer \"I have learnt a significant amount in a very short space of time. Great course!” N. Armstrong, Higher Asistant Psychologist \"Excellent course.

Intense information delivered well. Thank you!! S. Lewis, Counsellor \" Really enjoyed the course - very useful, relaxed, friendly and informative. Well paced delivery too. T. Corfield, adult with ADHD  \"Dear Wale,I attended your course in Birmingham last weekend and feel I need to express my upmost gratitude to you as you have totally inspired me.After losing my dad nearly 3 years ago I have suffered with severe morning anxiety. I now practise and teach kundalini yoga, Sound healing, meditation and reiki which has helped to relax me but not cured me. I just couldn't understand why until I attended your course.  Wow is all I can say. Since last weekend using positive visualisation and have started week one of your programme I have not woken up once with anxiety !!!!! I even used your visualisation technique in my sound class last night and the feedback was amazing!  You've inspired me to study this more and pass it on to clients that attend my classes.  I have highly recommended they attend your next session when you come back to Birmingham.  Life changing.Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Forever grateful,D. Greaves, EX ANXIETY SUFFERER!\"  \"An excellent workshop, well delivered and informative. Very knowledgeable presenter. K. Walsgrave, Sufferer, Artist\"I attended the course in Cambridge because as a GP I see lots of anxiety patients and  I suffer with anxiety myself. The course was really useful with lots of practical advice. I ave gained loys of insight. Very engaging and excellent info.\" --E. Thijskens, GP \"Hi Wale,I have completed the 21 days deeper mind flip meditation. I am so pleased with the results. I can now go to the gym and many other places without having a panick attack, I am also more confident. The meditation helps with my sleep as I listen to it before sleeping, this helps me relax. I will carry on listening to the meditation to flip any other negative thoughts.Thanks you for your help am very grateful to you.\" A. Garrod, Ex-sufferer \"Interesting and thought provoking...\" J. Lewis, Chief Executive, Doncaster Mind\"Wale, it was an insightful and excellent presentation yesterday. As a Dr it was very useful to gain an insight into your F.E.A.R. model. Hope to use the F.E.A.R. model in practice. Keep up the good work. Vishal.\" Dr V. Banypersad, GP\"Thank you for the incredible course you ran yesterday. I learned a lot. I went on the course to learn about GAD to help others but also to help myself. Your course really helped expand my knowledge base. I feel the FEAR model will help with a more general type of anxiety for those I know. Thank you once again for a wonderful event and your great books.\"  -- C. Bersani\"I originally booked this as I thought it would be a great add on to my mindfulness teaching. However, I have had quite an anxious year and realised after booking that it is me that needs it most. Wale was great and had a great teaching style.\" -Claire H, Mindfulness and Meditation Teacher \"My name is Lydia and I attended your Treating Generalised Anxiety Disorder Workshop on the 21st April 2018 in Maidstone. Although I attended your course mainly for my own professional development, I have also been struggling with anxiety and depersonalisation for many years, so believed your course would be helpful with regards to that too. I can honestly say that helpful is an understatement, and your workshop has completely transformed the way I have been thinking recently. Not only has it given me an understanding of the causes of GAD, I found the idea of placing doubt in the amygdala particularly fascinating. I am forcing myself to push past the avoidance techniques I have developed over the years, in order to allow myself access to opportunities I would have previously feared. This combined with your Imaginary Desensitisation Technique means I am no longer completely afraid of my anxiety but instead I am in the process of developing a more positive mind. During the relaxation you conducted within the workshop, my Flip word was ‘acceptance’, as I have been in denial of my anxiety for years and fearful of admitting it. Although only on day 10 out of 21 of your FEAR cycle, I am already starting to feel a change in my mindset and can only describe myself as feeling more comfortable in my own head. I hope to soon be able to talk to those around me about how I have really been feeling, in order to progress my acceptance further. Another aspect I particularly liked was seeing the volunteer’s brain on the projector, and with all the parts of the brain firing depending on questions asked, it was truly fascinating! I have a presentation in a few weeks as part of my degree course and was thinking of basing part of it on the professional and personal journeys I have made both within, and since, your workshop. You have made such a difference in the way I am approaching things, and I have just signed up to start running two new clubs at the primary school I work at, something I could definitely not have done without your knowledge and help. Although I was unable to say so at the end of the workshop, you were truly inspirational and I hope to attend many more of your workshops in the future. Thanks again \" Lydia SLaughter \"The course was really good. I liked having a course tutor who had actually experienced these issues! He answered the questions well and I liked his style of teaching.\" -- Sally M,. Sufferer\"Wale is incredibly knowledgeable and engaging. I learnt a huge amount and was reminded professionally of a huge amount. Great content, great presenter, great experience.\" --Dr R. Uys, Director of Rene Uys Counselling Services\"Exceptional events which tackles a complex subject in a much easier to understand way. Fantastic value for money event by an extremely knowledgeable and articulate presenter. I would strongly recommend this to companies, counsellors and sufferers. -- Lorraine M., General Manager\"Great. Wale is an excellent teacher. Very informative, useful knowledge. I would highly recommend anyone to attend this course for self-improvement and/or to help others. Brilliant.!  --Caroline M., Sufferer  \" Hi Wale, I attended your Mind body breakthrough workshop on treating GAD and panic disorders in the week and I wanted to say a huge thank you to you.  I have Asperger's syndrome and Bipolar disorder along with a number of physical and other mental disorders and I have never been able to find a therapist who really understands the complexities of the comorbid conditions which affect the anxiety I face so decided I needed to get a new perspective on it.   I have tried all manner of therapy up to now with no relief and being left with desperation and frustration. I find my brain concentrates more on analysing the therapist and type of treatment rather than the treatment itself, which has proven extremely counter productive as it promotes the paranoia element in me and gives the anxiety more energy and justification. I struggle greatly to take in very basic information but oddly can understand extremely complex information so when you began explaining the science behind anxiety it really started to make sense to me and has given me a new understanding as to why it happens and a realisation that there isn't going to be a miracle cure. I am going to research a little myself now as it has raised my interest and thirst for knowledge. The relaxation session you did with us was a very enlightening experience indeed. I was too embarrassed to speak up in the group as I cannot express myself verbally well at all and would not have made any sense, however I wanted to let you know my experience of the session.  Being autistic and highly creative  (my creativity in the art of conceptual photography) I am extremely visual in my thought process and therefore able to envisage elaborate scenarios in my head. Whilst I struggle to explain them verbally I can see them very clearly.   However during the process I could see a dandelion flower swaying gently in the wind, it had been through its transformation from a yellow flower gaining the energy to change and had gone into seed ready to start its new life. I was one of those dandelion seeds leaving the safety of the stem in which I had grown and I was floating above the ground with the breeze and had no fear of my destiny or worry of my ailments, I was strong and safe with a new chance for a fresh start at that moment. my flip happened, I became strong and unique (rather than weak and strange). I did have to ground myself by holding on to the table cloth as It was almost like an out of body experience, but very pleasant and I was the most relaxed I think I have ever been (very different to the dissociation that I struggle to comprehend a lot of the time). If someone had told me I would be in a room with people I do not know with my eyes closed, feeling so as relaxed as I was  I would never have believed them. Being around people is one of my greatest fears and I am extremely proud of myself for not only coming along but staying for the duration also and I thank you for giving me the insight in order for me to try and flip my mindset. I am hoping to put into practice the FEAR model techniques for myself and also try to help my teenage daughter who has Autism also.  One of my fine art conceptual photography self portraits is named 'Face your Fears'  I shot it a few years ago and it was actually fully based on anxiety and panic! it has far more meaning to me now and I have had it printed and framed now and up on display, so again thank you for that.  Kind regards\" Kyla S., Sufferer   \"Excellent!
