Join me for upcoming workshops and talks where I share what I’ve learned from a lifetime of working with trauma, relationships, and sexuality. These gatherings are a chance to learn, reflect, and connect in a supportive space.
Trauma touches every layer of life—our personal histories, attachment relationships, families, communities, and institutions. It can leave us feeling unsafe, disconnected, and alone, especially because it affects both mind and body. The Trauma, Attach(e)ment & Resilience Summit is an invitation to step out of that isolation and into shared learning, connection, and support.
This online summit brings together 34 internationally recognized experts to make complex trauma topics practical, clear, and accessible. Through talks, conversations, and applied learning, participants gain concrete tools to better understand trauma, support healing, and build resilience. Since 2020, more than 200,000 participants have joined this global learning community.
For 49 years, the Networker Symposium has been a gathering of connection, creativity, and rejuvenation for therapists dedicated to creating meaningful change for clients, communities, and themselves.

From May 27–30, 2026, the Trauma Research Foundation and Dr. Bessel van der Kolk welcome clinicians, researchers, and healing professionals to the 37th Annual Boston International Trauma Conference—a premier global gathering focused on advancing trauma care.

Alongside keynote presentations from leading experts, participants can engage in immersive experiential sessions and connect with an international network of professionals committed to meaningful change in trauma treatment.
Join us in person at the Sheraton Boston Hotel (39 Dalton Street, Boston, MA) or virtually from anywhere in the world.
An essential annual event for anyone dedicated to the future of trauma healing.
Early childhood neglect is one of the most pervasive—and least recognized—forms of major trauma. In this introductory workshop, participants will explore the foundational neuroscience of neglect, the impact of missing attachment experiences, common symptom patterns, and core treatment considerations.
Although attachment research increasingly recognizes early neglect as a primary developmental trauma (and it was identified in the original ACEs study), this understanding has been slower to reach everyday clinical practice and the broader public. Many survivors struggle with chronic depression, low agency, attention difficulties, and relational challenges, yet often say, “Nothing happened to me.” In many ways, that is the paradox of neglect: it is a trauma of what did not happen.
Designed to build awareness and clinical curiosity, this training brings visibility to a frequently overlooked population and offers a practical starting point for more informed, compassionate, and effective support.
