Become a Gaslighting and Relationship Trauma Recovery Specialist

When your client's reality has been twisted by gaslighting, therapy isn't just about coping — it's about helping them reclaim the truth of who they are.

But you need a clear roadmap and the right treatment tools to heal the trauma and help them rebuild their lives — psychologically, emotionally, and neurologically.

That's where this all-new certificate training comes in.

You'll join Dr. Stephanie Sarkis, gaslighting expert and best-selling author of A Clinician's Guide to Gaslighting. Dr. Sarkis has spent two decades specializing in treating survivors of psychological manipulation and relational trauma…

…and trained over 3,000 clinicians to recognize and treat the complex wounds of this hidden emotional abuse.

Now in this comprehensive self-paced training, you'll get the step-by-step instruction, real-world case studies, and practical techniques from DBT, ACT, CBT, and experiential therapies, that will equip you to provide the specialized care these clients need.

  • Identify even subtle and hidden signs of gaslighting and trauma bonding
  • Help clients break free from cognitive dissonance, shame, and self-blame that keep them trapped in toxic patterns
  • Restore safety, self-trust, and autonomy, empowering clients to reclaim control over their lives
  • Show clients how to navigate complex relational dynamics, including high-conflict partners, families, and workplaces

PLUS, you'll earn an exclusive digital badge when you complete the course — which can help set you apart and attract clients when you use on your social accounts, directories and website.

Great question! You'll receive an exclusive displayable certificate of completion when you finish this course.

A certificate is a document issued upon completion of a training program. Certification, on the other hand, often requires you to meet specific standards, pass rigorous exams, and many even include additional practice, consultation, supervision, evaluations, and ongoing continuing education requirements. While you will need to pass an exam, this course does not include many of these elements — making this a "certificate" program.

This certificate does distinguish you as a professional who has trained more extensively in this area…and it's an acknowledgment that can set you apart in the eyes of clients.
