SPI has partnered with BTR to offer their Level 2 Training at a tiered 10-40% scholarship to BTR members!
Fill out the BTR interest form to get started.
Level 2 trauma training for Developmental and Relational Injury integrates bottom-up and top-down processing to address somatic, emotional, and cognitive adaptations for various relational challenges — from early childhood adversity and attachment disruption to oppression, sociocultural, and transgenerational factors.
The SP Level 2 training equips students with the foundational principles, maps, and techniques necessary to identify and articulate developmental and relational patterns, assist clients in deriving meaning from implicit memory, evaluate resources for relationships and full participation in life, and address memories and unresolved grief and loss to transform painful emotions.
SPI is committed to an active, ongoing process of decolonizing their curriculum and integrating an anti-racist, anti-oppression perspective into their institute and clinical work. Registration is currently open to Black Therapists Rock members only. Registration to the general public will open May 15, 2026. Spaces will fill up fast. Learn more and start your journey here.
