For Professionals:

Few professionals receive training in working with dreams and nightmares, in spite of the fact that a great many clients and patients bring their dreams to explore in their sessions. The study of dreamwork simply isn’t offered in most graduate school programs. As professionals, we need this information and treatment approach to facilitate both deep healing and relief from current distress. Addressing this gap in training can have profound effects for us and our clientele.

Linda offers a wide variety of professional approaches and modalites, both of her own design and based in decades of deep study of Jungian, Gestalt, Focusing, active imagination, and embodied dream practices, many varied spiritual disciplines, as well as trauma treatment approaches and the neurobiology of dreams.

Nightmares are frequently one of the primary symptoms of both acute and chronic trauma and stress. Inadequately addressed, these nightmares can block and sabotage treatment.

Who can benefit from addressing their nightmares?: Victims of violence, refugees, veterans, childhood abuse survivors, victims of bullying and gender or racial violence, anyone with shattered or disrupted lives. Both current or historical trauma and stress can lead to suffering from distressing dreams and nightmares and benefit from this healing work. Trauma can be personal, familial, ancestral, global, and environmental.

Obtaining coaching and training in the wide variety of dreamwork skills and the careful resourced healing of nightmares from trauma can transform your own practice and transform your client’s lives as they heal from trauma at the deep level that dream and nightmare work gives us access to.

The following workshops and classes are offered as resources to address this training gap:

  • Dreamwork skills for psychotherapists, medical professionals, coaches, bodyworkers, counselors, and spiritual directors and leaders; single and multi-session consultation and classes
  • Nightmare treatment training for professionals; single and multi-session classes
