Intervision Group: The Lived Experience of Complex Trauma

Are you working with complex trauma cases?

This intervision group brings together psychologists to discuss and collaboratively explore clinical cases involving complex trauma (e.g. chronic developmental trauma, attachment disruptions, interpersonal violence, toxic relationships).

Through peer dialogue, reflective questioning, and shared professional experience, participants deepen their understanding of complex trauma dynamics, enhance clinical decision-making, and strengthen their therapeutic skills. The group provides a safe, supportive, and confidential space for mutual learning, professional growth, and the development of trauma-informed practice.
