The Programme Outline 

The Voyage® methodology works as a metaphorical map and sea journey giving people the skills, tools and techniques to use with themselves and others on their trauma healing journey.

Trauma needs a holistic approach. Without encompassing the Mind, Body and Soul elements there is little chance of long-lasting recovery.  When working with trauma it is also essential to use a phased approach to ensure the risk of re-traumatisation is limited, and that the comprehensive and detailed material is fully absorbed, integrated and embodied. 

This is where the 12 waves of The Voyage® stand out from other trauma training and modalites: By embodying a holistic approach along with a framework that outlines the necessary stages in which to work with.

PHASE 1: Information - Expand The Mind

(Land in the Sand) 

Even if you have a general idea of what trauma is, most training doesn’t help you understand the different theories, biological impacts, symptoms or differing healing models. The Voyage starts with a module based around  Information and The Mind because awareness is the foundation of everything. It is vital to see things through a trauma lens and truly understand it for both the practitioner and the client.

By the end of this first month you'll be confident that you have enough information to psycho-educate clients about trauma. With the knowledge of how to self-soothe and build resources that will bring about more self-awareness, understanding, regulation and resilience. This learning will bring you far more clarity as well as help inform your clients, taking your practice to the next level in terms of grounding, psychoeducation, trauma-informed care and ultimately, safety.

PHASE 2: Integration - Befriend The Body

(Swim in the Sea) 

As a coach, counsellor or health practitioner working with trauma, you may find it challenging to know how to work with some of the presentations you see. You have two options: refer them on to someone else or potentially cause re-traumatisation. So in this module, you will learn how to bring the mind into the body, (body-mind) and develop practices to Integrate wisdom and knowledge into the somatic system.

By the end of this second month you'll know all about Integration and how to work with the body and the somatic system. With the skills to increase self-care, containment, trust, compassion and forgiveness. These resources will bring about more empowerment for you and your clients, as you move through dissociation and into embodiment.

PHASE 3: Inspiration - Touch The Soul

(Soar in the Sky) 

The third module is about addressing the journey of being a coach or counsellor working with trauma and mental health, and how it can feel lonely and emotionally challenging at times. Working without support, connection to other coaches/counsellors, or sometimes adequate supervision can feel extremely solitary.  We also need others on our side and cheerleading us forward, sharing aspirations with a group helps to stay motivated and grow in confidence.  Whereas working in solitude with a heavy caseload can lead to isolation, low mood and burn-out. That’s why this part of The Voyage® gives you access to the Inspiration and connection you will need to keep those home fires burning.

By the end of third month, you will feel inspired, brimming with ideas and connected to yourself at a much deeper level. With all the additional insights, your clarity will have grown as well as your courage, allowing you to believe more in yourself and your abilities.  This in turn will enable you to expand your practice, performance and growth exponentially. Your capacity to regulate your nervous system will be greatly enhanced, your limiting beliefs challenged, allowing you to flow through your work and your life with much more freedom and ease.

With The Voyage® Light Dive you will gain invaluable insights to kickstart your journey on the path to becoming a more trauma-sensitive mental health professional.
