Why Trauma-Informed Couples Therapy Is the New Gold Standard – And How You Can Lead the Change

I am sure you see it, you hear it – in your therapy rooms, online – worldwide, one issue keeps showing up, and showing up hard: trauma.

Unhealed childhood wounds, nervous system shutdowns, and attachment ruptures are driving conflict, disconnection, and despair in modern relationships. As therapists, we witness couples struggling to love each other through the pain of their pasts.

Too often, we are left wondering: How do I help them heal together, not just survive apart?

That’s exactly what Healing Trauma, Restoring Connection, is here to answer.

🧠 The Heart of the Problem

Trauma, especially developmental or relational trauma, does not stay in the past. It lives in the present moment.

In tone of voice. In body posture. In the silence after a sigh.

When couples are trauma-triggered, logic disappears, and love is no longer safe. They move into fight, flight, freeze, flop or fawn. Your therapeutic tools need to meet them there.

🛠️ This Is Where Real Change Begins

That’s why we’ve created a transformational two-day workshop designed specifically for psychologists, couples therapists, and trauma-informed practitioners:

Healing Trauma, Restoring Connection
📅 November 8–9, 2025
📍 Crows Nest Community Centre, Sydney
🕘 9.00 am – 5.00 pm each day

This is not just another CPD box to tick. This is the kind of professional development that changes your practice, and your confidence forever.

Led by Canadian trauma expert Maureen McEvoy, this workshop blends cutting-edge neuroscience, attachment theory, and parts-based therapy with experiential exercises and real-world skills. You’ll explore how to:

  • Identify trauma responses in relational conflict
  • Use co-regulation to create safety in the session
  • Integrate Imago, PACT, EFT, and creative approaches like art therapy
  • Work with disorganised attachment and somatic cues
  • Apply structured interventions that restore connection, not just communication

👩‍🏫 Why Maureen?

Maureen McEvoy is one of Canada’s most respected trauma clinicians, a Certified Advanced Imago Therapist, and an acclaimed educator at the Justice Institute of British Columbia. With 30+ years of experience and a heart as steady as her clinical wisdom, Maureen brings warmth, clarity, and humour to even the heaviest topics.
