With Arielle Schwartz, PhD

Approved for 12 CEs

Discover How to Integrate Cutting-Edge Resilience Practices to Help Your Clients Heal from Trauma More Effectively

If you're a therapist, coach, or mental health professional seeking to empower your clients with sustainable, research-backed resilience practicesโ€”this is for you.

In todayโ€™s world, traditional therapy often falls short when clients are overwhelmed by trauma, anxiety, and stress. Resilience-Informed Therapy takes your clinical skills to the next level by integrating somatic, mindfulness, and attachment-based approachesโ€”helping your clients build deep, lasting resilience.

"Arielle masterfully bridges her well-developed model of therapeutic yoga with polyvagal theory. In doing so, she has creatively found paths to support the recovery of her readers as they share, through the powerful and insightful tools embedded in yoga, a journey of re-embodiment, co-regulation, healing, and discovery."

-ย Stephen W. Porges, PhD, founding director of the Traumatic Stress Research Consortium

Are you leaving work feeling fulfilledโ€”or drained?

Hello,

Picture yourself at the end of the workday.

Are you walking out with a sense of accomplishment, shoulders relaxed, a satisfied smile on your face?

Orโ€ฆ

Do you feel drained, your chest heavy, your mind replaying difficult moments, wondering if you did enough?

If youโ€™ve ever felt the weight of your work pressing down on you, youโ€™re not alone. As therapists, we hold space for othersโ€”yet we often forget to nourish our own resilience in the process.

Thatโ€™s why I created Resilience-Informed Therapy: An Integrative Somatic Approach to Trauma Recoveryโ€”to help you weave mind-body practices into your sessions so you and your clients can experience deep, lasting transformation without burnout.

This isnโ€™t just another therapy frameworkโ€”itโ€™s a new way to work with trauma that feels:

Practical โ€“ 40+ tangible techniques you can use immediately
Empowering โ€“ Help clients heal beyond survival mode and into thriving
Sustainable โ€“ Protect your own nervous system while supporting others

With Resilience-Informed Therapy, youโ€™ll confidently integrate somatic interventions, attuned mindfulness, and nervous system regulationโ€”so your clients heal faster and you reclaim joy in your work.

Imagine leaving work feeling lighter, fulfilled, and energizedโ€”because you know your approach is both effective and sustainable.

Join me for over 18 hours of on-demand training, where Iโ€™ll personally guide you through this integrative approach. Gain the tools to bring ease, confidence, and resilience into your practiceโ€”for you and your clients.

I look forward to seeing you inside!

Warmly,

Arielle Schwartz, PhD &
