Continuing education for clinicians

Learn to switch gears. Then teach your clients how.

Live trainings on Zoom for licensed and pre-licensed mental health professionals, taught by Laura Bertrand, MA, LPC. Every training starts with your own nervous system, because if you can learn it on yourself, you can teach it to clients.

Who it is for

For you, and for the people you sit with

Most of us identify with our reactions as if they were part of our personality, when they are part of our physiology. These trainings start with your own nervous system: your states, what moves you between them, and how you switch gears. Then you turn the same map toward the people you sit with.

Laura calls it heavy learning. It is very logical and very cognitive, and she keeps it simplified and practical.

Licensed mental health professionals: counselors, therapists, and related clinicians. Pre-licensed clinicians working under supervision are welcome.

4.0 credit hours; check with your board. Registration asks for your license type, number, and issuing state.

What it is not

Professional education, not therapy

The Institute offers professional education. It is not therapy, and taking a training here does not make you a client of the practice.

If you are looking for therapy, that is Well Being Sanctuary, the practice, at wellbeingsanctuarywbs.com. The Institute is a separate company and keeps its own records.

Who teaches here

Laura Bertrand, MA, LPC

Licensed Professional Counselor · CT License #005014

Laura is a licensed professional counselor whose work centers on autonomic nervous system regulation, stress physiology, and trauma-informed care. Her graduate work in health psychology at Central Connecticut State University focused on the autonomic nervous system, stress reduction, and biofeedback, and she now trains fellow clinicians to recognize and map their own autonomic states. In her words, "I want to find a way to be able to teach this to many."
