You’ll leave with a fresh lens on chronic illness care, a way to screen and assess clients, an understanding of the 8 Adaptive Chambers, and some practical clinical tools you can start using right away. This isn’t just theory—it’s immediately applicable, deeply human, and rooted in lived experience.

Yes. The Adaptive Healing Method™ synthesizes clinically accepted, evidence-based models including CBT, ACT, Interpersonal Therapy (IPT), Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT), Mind-Body Integration, Somatic IFS, and Trauma-Informed Care principles aligned with SAMHSA guidelines. It is consistent with DSM-5-TR domains for depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, somatic symptoms, and relational issues.

Yes — absolutely.

The Adaptive Healing Method™ is designed for experienced clinicians who already have foundational training in evidence-based modalities.

You won’t be relearning basic concepts. Instead, you’ll learn how to integrate, adapt, and apply these approaches to address the highly complex psychological realities of chronic illness, chronic pain, medical trauma, invisible grief, body image disruption, and relational identity shifts — areas that traditional clinical training often overlooks.

You’ll walk away with a structured, whole-person map that shows you how to sequence, deepen, and tailor familiar interventions to meet nuanced client needs — especially when standard protocols fall short.

This training builds on what you already know — but elevates your ability to work skillfully, creatively, and compassionately with some of the most underserved populations in mental health care.

Most trauma trainings focus primarily on acute trauma, PTSD, or nervous system regulation.

The Adaptive Healing Method™ is different — it addresses the full emotional landscape of chronic illness, chronic pain, medical trauma, and long-term grief, which often includes identity loss, relational rupture, body image struggles, and existential pain.

This method doesn’t focus on symptom control alone.

It offers a whole-person, trauma-responsive framework that helps you integrate psychological, somatic, relational, and meaning-centered approaches — while tailoring your interventions to the unique needs of clients who live with complex, ongoing medical realities.

You’ll learn to move beyond stabilization into true adaptation, identity repair, and vibrant living, even in the face of continued health challenges — a skillset no other trauma trainings fully teach.
