Dear ……………
 
I seek your approval to attend Janina Fisher’s training, ‘Healing the Fragmented Selves of Trauma Survivors: Focusing on a treatment model for clients with trauma-related disorders’. This workshop is being held in Brisbane 27 & 28 February, Melbourne 2 & 3 March and Sydney 6 & 7 March 2017. 

I have reviewed the 2-day program and workshop overview on Byron Clinic’s website http://byronclinic.com/janina-fisher-trauma-2017/ and found this training fits right into what we are trying to achieve with our client population.  

The training is geared towards teaching therapists an effective, mindfulness-based model for working with clients whose self-loathing or self-punishment defeats most treatment methods from even the most highly skilled clinicians. A neurobiological-regulating approach helps to interrupt habitual patterns of action and reaction, decrease impulsivity, and encourage compassion in even our most challenging clients.  

This training would have a very positive impact on stabilising client behaviour and improving our clients’ ability for personal growth and independence. This event will be attended by leaders in trauma treatment and presents a great networking opportunity amongst fellow peers. It would be a shame to miss this rare opportunity to train with Janina Fisher, PhD.
