The Skills Every Great Therapist Wishes They’d Been Taught

With Jim Knipe's Toolkit Simplified

-----

As an EMDR therapist, consultant, and trauma educator,
I’ve seen how even skilled clinicians can end up stuck with complex trauma.

You’re doing everything right —
resourcing, titration, careful pacing,
and still, the session flatlines.

Your client says, “I feel nothing.”
They smile when they touch pain.
They talk instead of feel.

A part of them wants to heal,
but another part — the one guarding the trauma — shuts the door the moment you get close.

You find yourself looping, trying to reach the work that keeps slipping away.

That’s the moment most trainings don’t prepare you for
when defenses take over, dissociation spins the session off course, and you feel that quiet frustration of “we’re both here, but we’re not really moving.”

This masterclass is for that moment.

You’ll learn how to track when the defense system takes the wheel,
meet it with precision instead of pressure, and reopen the pathways to healing that have been waiting underneath.

If you're ready get out out of stuck sessions, this was made for you!
