dissociation healing trauma

 Dissociation is one of the most common—and most challenging—trauma responses you'll encounter in your practice. Your clients show up numb, disconnected, unable to access their emotions or stay present in their bodies. They're there, but they're not really there.

This course gives you everything you need to recognize, understand, and effectively work with dissociation at every stage—from mild spacing out to extreme fragmentation, soul loss, and complex dissociative conditions.

You'll understand what's happening in your client's brain and nervous system when they dissociate, and how to detect it through verbal cues, body language, and energetic field shifts.

You'll gain practical, step-by-step protocols for working with dissociation at early, mid, and late stages. You'll learn how to create safety, support your client to reconnect with their body, facilitate emotional release, and navigate resistance. You'll also explore advanced topics like transference, soul fragmentation, entities, and the intersection of dissociation with self-harm.

This course includes 10 real healing session demonstrations so you can see how dissociation is worked with in practice.

You'll also receive guided somatic practices (body scans, grounding techniques, pelvic floor release, womb reconnection), curated resources (articles, podcasts, films, books), and dialogical skills training to deepen your capacity to hold space for complex trauma clients.

This course is for you if you're: A therapist, somatic practitioner, energy healer, or trauma-informed coach working with clients who dissociate, struggle to access emotions, or have histories of childhood trauma, sexual abuse, or PTSD.

What you'll gain: The clinical depth, somatic tools, and energetic sensitivity to work skillfully and safely so your clients can process trauma, come home to their bodies and feel safe enough to heal.

"I came to see Safa with dissociation, upper body tension, cranial fluid leaks after a severe concussion which left me with sinus issues, headaches and a constantly runny nose. For at least six years my nervous system has been dysregulated, my body would often shake with fear and I would have lots of teary outbursts. I did not feel safe in my body and my skin was so itchy I would feel like jumping out of it.


After six weeks my physical symptoms are gone. I have also healed my dissociation and learnt how to trust my own body again. I am now feeling connected with my organs and I feel my heart and brain have reconnected. Spinal work realigned my spine and helped me to release deep anger from trauma that my body was holding in relation to childhood trauma. I reconnected with my own inner feminine and masculine energy and also met my inner child.

Jasmine, USA

 

 "Because of my childhood trauma I’ve put myself on trial for decades. I found every reason to believe why I was unworthy of love. I felt that I was not a good person simply because of my past. But it’s like all of that was dissolved when I healed with Safa.

 I talked to my skin and told it that it didn’t have to protect me anymore by being constantly inflamed. I apologized to my body for never wanting to be in it because of the trauma I went through. I healed my inner child. I told myself no matter what I’ve done in my life, I will always be worthy of love. I prayed for the people that hurt me as a child.

 
The expansion in my heart and space in my solar plexus is unlike anything I’ve ever felt. I got that cry I was hoping to release from the beginning. Letting my deeper, buried emotions out cleared the space for so much love within me. I actually feel worthy of a good life. I feel like MYSELF again.  I’m never going back. This is home. This is me. I AM LOVE!"

 

Brionne, USA

"I had struggled for decades with anxiety and depression. My nervous system was totally dysregulated. I had insomnia, no energy and lived either in the past or the future.

Safa guided me through beautiful layers of somatic and energy work to heal my nervous system and childhood trauma. The result is amazing and far beyond what I expected.

My healing journey with Safa brought me home to my real essence- full of love and hope! I am now excited about my future! I continue to expand and my nervous system continues to heal. Safa is a truly talented energy healer… a miracle worker! I feel so fortunate to have connected with her. Safa, thank you for sharing your heart, energy and knowledge- Truly a blessing"
