What Makes Working With Trauma Different
The Unique Business Opportunities of
Trauma-Informed Modalities
Trauma-informed treatment is often highly specialized, involving training in modalities that are additional to the traditional psychotherapeutic education.
Somatic therapy, EMDR, and Internal Family Systems (IFS) require an investment from the provider. This adds to a clinician’s expertise and skill set.
Clinicians who hold these trainings or credentials are more likely to attract and secure out-of-pocket clients.
The depth and potency of these modalities is well worth the out-of-pocket investment for clients.
Trauma-informed professionals are driven by healing the deepest wounds in their clients, as well as applying these concepts in as many settings outside the traditional 1: 1 therapy session.
Psychedelic medicine facilitation is a growing field, as well. Universal acceptance of this modality is still in progress, however, healers who work in this realm lend themselves to similar business opportunities.
Clinicians in this space will often think of creative ways to share their expertise to groups of individuals or professionals. This could include:
Group workshops & online courses
Written resources such as books or guides
Group trainings for teachers, caregivers, or other providers
Direct-to-consumer wellness coaching
