from protocol to presence

How Deep Presence Can Transform Clinician Outcomes (and Prevent Burnout)

JUNE 27, 2025, 3 PM - 4:30 PM, MDT

If you are a therapist working with trauma, dissociation, and overwhelm, this webinar will show you a powerful, feeling-centred approach.

It will move your practice beyond “Surface-level” interventions, so you can significantly transform client outcomes.

Enhance Your Clinical Outcomes, Deepen Your Attunement, and Protect Against Burnout

In this free 90-minute webinar, Christine Forner, one of the world’s foremost experts on dissociation and complex trauma, introduces the concept of Securefulness—the felt sense of inner and relational safety that is essential for genuine healing.

She will explore how cultivating securefulness in your practice can enhance client outcomes, deepen your attunement, and protect against burnout.

With practical examples, body-based insights, and a deeply human lens, Christine presents a new model for trauma care—one rooted in co-regulation rather than control.

Don't miss this chance to learn from one of the world's most informed experts on dissociation.

TESTIMONIALS

  • I highly recommend clinical supervision and peer consultation sessions with Christine Forner, MSW, past president of the ISSTD, and Sensorimotor Psychotherapist. Christine’s mastery of interpersonal neurobiology is exceptional, and she conveys her expertise in a way that is accessible and deeply relational. Christine's focus on the history of nurture and her keen insights into client experiences of dissociation, while attending to the strengths and limitations of current therapeutic modalities and creative ways to reconcile these, are invaluable for any clinician. In our consultations, Christine brings a remarkable level of curiosity and passion, especially when working through complex case presentations involving dissociative experiences and parts work. She approaches these intricate challenges with a skillful, nuanced perspective, empowering each participant to feel validated and supported. These sessions are more than educational; they are invigorating, inspiring a renewed sense of professional curiosity while also providing concrete skills and a meaningful clinician-to-clinician connection. For anyone seeking to deepen their clinical practice, Christine’s supervision and fearless consultation sessions offer an unparalleled level of expertise and guidance

  • Dissociation 101 was a radical and powerful course with ideas that could, and should, create a sea change in contemporary mental health practices. Christine Forner has created a course that celebrates hope, healing, nurturing and love. She challenges ideas that dissociation is to be ignored, at best, and disbelieved at worst. She challenges ideas that the therapist job is to challenge and dissuade when, most simply, it is to love. I encourage anyone who works with trauma, which is most of us, to begin your journey of reconceptualizing the treatment of trauma here, with Christine.

  • The Dissociation 101 course provided compelling information that was eye-opening and incredibly helpful to any clinical mental health practitioner. Christine is passionate about the content and shares her decades-long experience in this packed course. It provided historical and theoretical information as well as clinical applications and signs/symptoms. I highly recommend this course to clinicians looking to expand their knowledge of trauma treatment and understanding dissociation and systemic issues that impact treatment on a deeper level.
