Healing Through Relationship: Trauma, Attachment, and Embodied Healing
About this Event
Healing Happens in Relationship!
What happens when we move beyond understanding trauma and begin to experience the processes that support healing?
Join us in Burlington, Vermont for two days of learning, reflection, connection, and exploration as we bring together leading voices in trauma treatment, attachment, and relational healing.
Healing Through Relationship is designed to be more than a traditional professional conference. It is an opportunity to step away from the demands of clinical practice, engage with transformative ideas, reconnect with colleagues, and experience the relational and somatic principles that inform our work.
Through engaging presentations, experiential learning opportunities, and shared reflection, we will explore how safety, connection, and embodied awareness support meaningful therapeutic change.
This gathering is designed for:
- Mental health counselors, psychologists, and social workers
- Marriage and family therapists
- Trauma and attachment-focused clinicians
- Graduate students and emerging professionals
- Other professionals working in relational and trauma-informed care
Whether you are deepening an established practice or exploring new approaches to trauma treatment, this conference offers space to learn, connect, and renew your relationship with the work.
Two days. Meaningful connections. Learning that extends beyond the conference room.
