Description
Neglect often leaves no visible scars—yet its imprint runs deep. In this 4.25-hour course, renowned psychotherapist Ruth Cohn introduces a “neglect-informed” framework for understanding and addressing the impact of early relational neglect. Using personal narrative, clinical insight, and decades of experience, she brings visibility to what has long been invisible in trauma discourse. Across nine teaching sessions and a bonus module, Cohn explores the subtle yet profound effects of neglect on identity, attachment, emotional regulation, sexuality, and relational development. You’ll learn how to identify signs of neglect in clients who often struggle to articulate their pain and how to attune to nonverbal cues, embodied emotion, and unconscious communication. This course is not only a call to awareness—it’s a call to action for clinicians ready to bring care and clarity to this often-overlooked domain.
