Trauma, sexuality, relationships, neurodivergence, and the somatic and altered-state work that ties them together. Proudly queer, trans, and neurodiversity-affirming, with roots in the kink and non-monogamous communities.
You already know how to sit with people through the hardest parts of their lives. But most of us left grad school with a single course in human sexuality and very little on relationship diversity, neurodivergence, or the body-based work that trauma often calls for. When a client's gender, relationships, or wiring didn't match the textbook, we were left to figure it out alone.
Expansive Education gives you the specific knowledge and clinical tools to work with LGBTQIA+, kinky, non-monogamous, and neurodivergent clients, and the somatic and altered-state approaches that help with trauma for anyone on your caseload.
Our foundation is somatic parts work and altered states, including clinical hypnosis and psychedelic care. Trauma therapists, curious generalists, and clinicians adding hypnosis or psychedelic integration to their work will also find courses that change how they work with the clients they already see.

"I highly recommend these trainings. They are very informative, put on by people with knowledge and lived experience, and are just overall great." - Addie Baldowski, LMHC
"There was so much that was useful - the general overview of different types of kink, the concept of processing trauma through sex, the many ways of practicing consent."
"As a leader in my local kink community I feel like this was very helpful for my role and will definitely be helpful in my career later."
"It was incredible. I honestly felt myself spacing out because the content was SO personal and applicable to my own life and trauma that I need some time to process it. A lot of huge realizations for me personally." - Jesse Lyon, LMHC
