Advanced Diploma in Trauma Studies
Dynamic Psychosocialsomatic Psychotherapy (DPP) at The Trauma Recovery Institute
This is not a techniques course.
It is a reframing of trauma itself.
The Advanced Diploma in Trauma Studies trains clinicians in Dynamic Psychosocialsomatic Psychotherapy (DPP) — a systems-biology and neuroscience-based framework for understanding trauma, chronic dysregulation, and complex relational injury.
DPP does not teach trauma as:
– an event
– a diagnosis
– a collection of symptoms
Instead, trauma is understood as a dynamic, adaptive reorganisation of the human system across development, nervous system regulation, affect, identity, metabolism, and relationships.
This programme represents a decisive departure from:
– technique-driven models
– symptom-focused interventions
– purely cognitive or nervous-system-only approaches
DPP is grounded in:
• complexity science
• systems biology
• developmental neuroscience
• affect regulation theory
• relational neurobiology
Programme overview
• 12 or 24 months
• 100% online (recorded lectures + live consultations)
• 10 in-depth modules
• 10 one-to-one live video consultations with the Director (included)
• Fee: €4,500
This training is conceptually rigorous by design.
It is intended for clinicians who are ready to think beyond linear models and work with trauma as a multi-level adaptive process, not a symptom to be managed.
