Introducing The Foundations of Trauma-Informed Therapeutic Coaching™ Workshop, A Professional Development Workshop from the Co-Creators of Therapeutic Coaching™
Discover a Clear,
Clinical Framework for Understanding How Trauma Forms, Persists, and Responds to Intervention
In this 3-hour workshop, you’ll learn the ECHO Model for mapping trauma patterns, the Reversed ECHO for sequencing intervention safely, a clinical framework for recognising which emotional responses are natural and which are protective, something most approaches don’t distinguish.
Clients
Why Clients Get Stuck, Even When You're Doing Good Work
A client brings the same pattern for the third session in a row. They understand it. They can name it. And yet, nothing reliably shifts.
So you’re left making a real-time clinical decision:
– Do you go further into emotion?
– Work with the regulation first?
– Challenge the belief?
– Stay with the body?
Without a clear way of mapping how trauma patterns form and persist across the mind, emotions, and the nervous system, even experienced practitioners can end up guessing at sequence and timing.
The Hidden Challenge Behind Working With Trauma Cases
Most practitioner trainings teach techniques in isolation: some cognitive work here, some somatic awareness there, maybe emotional processing or Parts work layered in.
But trauma doesn’t sit inside any single modality.
It’s a system-level pattern shaped by:
- Past events (both overt trauma and covert emotional neglect)
- The context in which those events occurred (attachment, resources, developmental stage)
- Shifts in nervous system homeostasis (the maladaptive stress response)
- And the outcomes that follow (anxiety, depression, chronic illness, relational patterns, self-sabotage)
These layers interact. They reinforce each other. And they don’t respond predictably to techniques designed for only one layer at a time.
That’s why a client can spend years in talk therapy, gain deep insight into their childhood, and still feel exactly the same. The intervention addressed one layer. The pattern lives across all four.
So the real question isn’t “which technique should I use?”
It’s: “Which layer am I actually working with right now, and what does the client’s system need next?”
Introducing The Foundations of Trauma-Informed Therapeutic Coaching™
Therapeutic Coaching™ is a framework that brings together key elements of psychotherapy, solution-based coaching, and mindfulness. It’s an integration of different approaches, and it’s its own distinct methodology.
In this 3-hour workshop with Dr Alex Howard and Anna Duschinsky, you’ll learn the ECHO Model (Events, Context, Homeostasis, Outcomes) for mapping how trauma patterns persist and the Reversed ECHO sequence for healing. You’ll also watch a live demonstration, so you can see the clinical decision-making in action, not just the theory.
This workshop with Dr Alex Howard and Anna Duschinsky gives you what most training programs never do: a clinical thinking framework for understanding how trauma forms, how it persists, and how to work with it effectively.
The Old Way
Applying one modality and hoping it covers everything
Going deeper into the past without knowing if that’s what the client’s system needs right now
Building insight that never translates into real change
Second-guessing which tool to use, when, and why
Collecting more certifications, hoping the next one fills the gap
Reading more books, doing more therapy, still without a coherent framework
The Therapeutic Coaching™ Way
One integrated framework that maps the mind, emotions, nervous system, and past impact together
The ECHO Model: a clinical map of how trauma forms (Events, Context, Homeostasis, Outcomes)
The Reversed ECHO: a clear healing sequence (regulate the nervous system first, then process)
Two types of emotion identified, so you always know what you’re working with
What Is Therapeutic Coaching™?
Therapeutic Coaching™ is a structured, integrative framework developed over two decades by Dr Alex Howard and Anna Duschinsky. It brings together the depth of psychotherapeutic approaches with the forward movement of coaching, offering practitioners a practical way to help clients understand themselves, shift long-standing patterns, and create meaningful change.
Rather than relying on a single modality, Therapeutic Coaching™ draws from a wide range of evidence-informed disciplines. Each contributes a different lens for understanding a client’s inner world – past conditioning, present-moment patterns, and future-oriented change.
- Heal the past through developmental psychology and trauma-aware tools
- Create the future using solution-focused coaching methodologies
- Live in the present through mindfulness and awareness-based practices
Practitioners learn how to map a client’s experience across both conscious and unconscious layers – beliefs, Parts, emotional defenses, somatic responses, and behavioural strategies—so they can guide sessions with clarity and confidence.
The Modalities Integrated Inside Therapeutic Coaching™ Include:
- Developmental Psychology for understanding early patterns and core wounds
- Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) for shifting limiting beliefs and entrenched patterns
- Hypnotherapy (permissive, client-led) for deep inner change grounded in safety and ethics
- Mindfulness Training to build presence, awareness, and regulation
- Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) for processing undigested emotional experiences

What Our Clients Are Saying
Is This Workshop for You?
Therapists
If you want a clear clinical framework (the ECHO Model, Reversed ECHO, Two Types of Emotion) for understanding why clients plateau, and how to sequence intervention across the layers that matter.
Wellness and Integrative Practitioners
If you work with clients where trauma, stress, or emotional patterns are clearly part of the picture, and you want clinical thinking tools you can integrate into your existing approach.
Coaches
If you’re hitting a ceiling with clients whose patterns sit deeper than mindset or behaviour, and you need a structured way to map what’s driving the stuckness without crossing into territory you’re not equipped for.
Practitioners-in-Training or Career Changers
If you want a practical framework for understanding how trauma actually forms, persists, and responds to intervention, one that goes far beyond what most introductory trainings cover.
A Practical Map for Understanding Trauma
and Knowing What to Do With It
This workshop gives you the clinical thinking tools that explain why clients get stuck,
and what actually helps them move forward.
You’ll learn how to:
1
The four stages (Events, Context, Homeostasis, Outcomes) and see how they interact as one connected sequence, so you can identify what’s actually maintaining a client’s pattern rather than treating symptoms in isolation.
2
Understand why childhood emotional neglect (the things that didn’t happen) is often harder to spot and more damaging than the events most practitioners are trained to look for.
3
Alex and Anna walk through counselling, EMDR, somatic work, IFS, and coaching, showing what each addresses, what each misses, and why integration across layers changes the outcome.
4
Understand why stabilising the nervous system must come before processing trauma events, and what happens when practitioners get that sequence wrong.
5
Learn to recognise the difference between natural emotional responses and defensive emotional patterns that protect against deeper pain, so you know what you’re actually working with when a client becomes emotional in session.
6
See how Alex applies the clinical thinking framework in real time, so you can observe the sequencing, the decision-making, and the intervention logic, not just learn about it in theory.
3 Steps to Understand How Trauma Works and What Actually Helps People Change
In this workshop, Dr Alex Howard and Anna Duschinsky walk you through the clinical thinking framework behind 20-plus years of working with trauma, so you can see what’s driving a client’s stuckness and how to actually help them move forward.
Step 1
Understand How Trauma Actually Works
- The ECHO Model: how Events, Context, Homeostasis, and Outcomes interact as one connected sequence, and why treating any single layer in isolation produces limited results.
- The difference between overt trauma (adverse events) and covert trauma (the things that didn't happen), and why covert trauma is often harder to spot and more impactful.
- The three core emotional needs, and what happens when they aren't met in childhood.
Step 2
See Where Other Approaches Work and Where They Get Stuck
- A walk-through of counselling, EMDR, somatic approaches, IFS, and coaching: what each one does well, where each one has limitations, and why no single modality covers the full picture.
- Why insight alone doesn't create change (and what's actually missing when a client "gets it" intellectually but nothing shifts).
- The three bodies (mind, emotional body, physical body) and why effective intervention needs to work across all three.
Step 3
Apply the Therapeutic Coaching Framework
- The Reversed ECHO: a clear healing sequence that starts with nervous system regulation, then context, then events, and why that order matters.
- Two types of emotion: how to tell the difference between a natural emotional response and a defensive pattern, and what to do with each.
- A live demonstration of the clinical thinking in action, so you see how the mapping, the sequencing, and the intervention decisions happen in real time.
