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 practices—this is for you.
In today’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 approaches—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.”
– Stephen W. Porges, PhD, founding director of the Traumatic Stress Research Consortium
Are you leaving work feeling fulfilled—or drained?
Hello,
Picture yourself at the end of the workday.

Or…
Do you feel drained, your chest heavy, your mind replaying difficult moments, wondering if you did enough?
If you’ve ever felt the weight of your work pressing down on you, you’re not alone. As therapists, we hold space for others—yet we often forget to nourish our own resilience in the process.
That’s why I created Resilience-Informed Therapy: An Integrative Somatic Approach to Trauma Recovery—to help you weave mind-body practices into your sessions so you and your clients can experience deep, lasting transformation without burnout.
This isn’t just another therapy framework—it’s a new way to work with trauma that feels:

With Resilience-Informed Therapy, you’ll confidently integrate somatic interventions, attuned mindfulness, and nervous system regulation—so your clients heal faster and you reclaim joy in your work.
Imagine leaving work feeling lighter, fulfilled, and energized—because you know your approach is both effective and sustainable.
Join me for over 18 hours of on-demand training, where I’ll personally guide you through this integrative approach. Gain the tools to bring ease, confidence, and resilience into your practice—for you and your clients.
I look forward to seeing you inside!

From Burnout to Self-Renewal:
A Resilience Informed Approach to Care
The first module focuses on YOU. Arielle will discuss the toll trauma treatment can have on therapists, and provide you with tools for arriving and centering that will nurture your resilience and carry you throughout your day. Learn skills to resource yourself so you can be fully present for your clients. This is the first step to leaving your work at the end of the day feeling more revitalized than when you began!

Attending to Adversity from a Foundation of Relational Safety

Applied Polyvagal Theory for Mind-Body Health: Connection & Co-Regulation
This module dives into applying the polyvagal theory in your practice. Arielle is known for providing a very understandable and grounded approach to applying the scientific model of applied polyvagal theory in psychotherapy. You’ll incorporate methods for working with the vagus nerve that will improve your client’s well-being and your capacity as a therapist as well. You’ll have an entire new model for regulation.
You’ll learn:
- The components of polyvagal theory so you have a deeper understanding of what’s going on in your client’s nervous system,
- Neuroception: how to use self-awareness as a foundation for change.
- Tools you can use in sessions for natural vagus nerve stimulation to create a mutual field of regulation in the therapy room.
- How to tone the vagal nerve so your clients can achieve more vagal efficiency.
- Neuromodulation and natural vagus nerve stimulation so you can help your clients regulate their vagal system.
Resources for Trauma Recovery: The Science of Positive Neuroplasticity
In this module, you’ll learn how to create new ways for your client’s brain to respond to life’s challenges and free them from a brain hardwired for stress. You’ll learn the neuroscience of how the brain can be “re-wired” from a trauma-response basis/condition/history to one that can respond more appropriately/effectively to the current situation.
You’ll learn:
- The science of positive neuroplasticity so you can seamlessly integrate positive resource states with traumatic memory reprocessing.
- How to hardwire happiness to make critical changes in your client’s lives.

-
- How to anchor self-compassion so you and your clients carry this key resilience strategy with you at all times.
Traumatic Memory Reprocessing: Mind-Body Integrative Approach to Healing
Here, you’ll learn how to reprocess traumatic memories in a holistic way. You’ll develop the steps and skills to use this mind- and body-oriented approach to heal trauma, and leave behind the old days of frustration and lack of progress.
You’ll learn:
- A model of predictive processing and somatic reappraisal you can resource states while attending to the distress of traumatic memories.
- How to incorporate somatic psychology, parts work therapies, and elements of EMDR so your clients get healed in the mind and body.
- Skills to explore reprocessing, exposure, and desensitization so you can more effectively work with traumatic memories.
-
- Through observing, as Arielle shares a demonstration session so you can make all of this theory more tangible.
Integration and Navigation of Treatment Barriers

Frequently asked
Q: I already work with trauma. Why should I take this course?
First of all, thank you for the critical work you are doing! If you are feeling burdened, burned out, and busted by your trauma work, please take this course. Not only will you learn skills to help your clients recover more easily and quickly, you’ll learn how to leverage your own resilience so you don’t feel beat up at the end of the day. The world needs you to continue your vital work for years to come. Please, do this for yourself!
Q: I feel like I'm stuck in 'Groundhog Day' with some of my clients. I want to stop repeating the same story and getting nowhere. Will I get it in this course?
We know the frustration of repetitive sessions and stuck clients. It’s one of the leading factors for therapist burnout. So yay for you wanting to get a handle on that! This course will show you how to get clients to stop talking and drop in and feel. We know that can be scary for clients, so you’ll also learn how to work with their intellectual defenses so they can build the capacity to lean into their fears of feeling what is going on inside. This course will also show you many practices for mind-body work, and even help you overcome your fears of your clients’ and other clinicians’ resistance towards this holistic approach.
Q: There are so many courses on trauma therapy. Why should I take this course, and why should I take it now?
Two reasons: This course not only provides key information on multiple trauma treatment modalities and a holistic approach to trauma treatment that many trauma courses miss, it also provides critical skills for trauma therapists to resource themselves when doing this work. Trauma therapy is hard, and you must know how to bolster and protect yourself from vicarious trauma and burnout.
We also recognize that you are not separate from the larger systems and events of the world. The last 3 years have been hard on mental health therapists, and we feel a sense of collective despair. We want to address the overwhelm and burden, and change the course so you feel empowered in your personal life to stand strong and confident. This course will help you cultivate internal change to facilitate meaningful change in the world. Just as you help clients navigate their lives, we offer you the tools and skills to help yourself navigate your work.
Q: It sounds like this is a course on embodiment, which most of my clients aren't interested in. Will this course show me how to win them over?
Yes! If you, the therapist, are working in an embodied manner, the intervention you’re using isn’t as important as how you are showing up. That’s one of the first skills you’ll learn. You’ll also learn how to meet your clients where they’re at, how to lower your center of gravity and resonate more with your clients, how to use mirror neurons to co-regulate, and how to prevent them from pulling you into intellectual/talk mode (because that’s where they’re often more comfortable). You may have heard this before: Therapists learn somatic skills for themselves, then use them with their clients. That’s how you win them over.
Q: Is this course pre-recorded, or is it live where I can ask questions?
