Within two years, you will be able to say with confidence:
"I had CPTSD, but I no longer have CPTSD."
CPTSD Medicine is advanced training in CPTSD Resolution. Not therapy. Not coaching. Not another provider you outsource your healing to. This is a structured protocol built on the evidence-based principles of memory reconsolidation, designed for high-functioning adults who are done managing symptoms through meds and therapy and are ready to finish the work. One outcome. Two pathways.
You already have a therapist you love, or you're the kind of person who leads your own healing when given the right tools. The Weekend Workshop gives you professional-grade training in how effective CPTSD treatment actually works. You leave with the knowledge most therapists never receive and the ability to advocate for yourself inside any clinical relationship. Twice yearly. Seven seats.
Pathway One —
CPTSD Resolution 101 Weekend Workshop
You want the full container. Six months working directly with me, the architect of the CPTSD Medicine Healing Protocol. Individual IFS sessions, weekly group facilitation, printed curriculum mailed to your home, and a measurable outcome guarantee. This is where you stop piecing your healing together and resolve your CPTSD inside one integrated process. Application only.
Pathway Two —
Happily Ever After
If you are a therapist wanting to make a client referral, please see my referral guide below.
I offer applied mental health training: a structured, intensive protocol employing sequential memory reconsolidation experiences and continuous leadership development, designed to move high-functioning trauma survivors toward sustained symptom resolution. I am not a therapist. I'm a trainer.
My path to this work is personal. I'm a childhood trauma survivor with a PhD in Education, formally diagnosed with BPD in 2021 and no longer meeting criteria on that screener following intensive IFS work. The depth of that resolution, after decades of emotional dysregulation and relational instability, prompted me to leave a tenured professorship in applied developmental psychology and build a protocol around what I'd experienced. I am twice married and parent two children and two stepchildren. This is source material I draw from in the work.
Because I am not a therapist, some of my students continue working with their therapist while they're in my container, and I actively encourage it when clinically appropriate. What comes up in our work often deepens the therapeutic relationship, because students are bringing new unburdening experiences and self-awareness back into their sessions. My services complement therapy; they do not replace it.
WHAT I OFFER
I offer one primary way to work with me: Happily Ever After (HEA), a six-month, application-based container that includes:
> 1:1 IFS unburdening sessions
> Group facilitations
> A self-paced training curriculum built on the clinical protocol I developed
Investment: $6,000
This is not drop-in work or flexible scheduling. The container's structure is fixed and clinically deliberate. It is designed to function as a total life training ground, using every aspect of a student's daily life as the material for real-time application of IFS skills. That kind of 360-degree engagement sits outside the structural scope of weekly therapy by design. My work is built to occupy that adjacent space.
(I also offer a twice-yearly weekend workshop for those not yet ready for the full container, though HEA is the work I'm most often referred into.)
THE IDEAL REFERRAL
The best referral to me is a person on your caseload who you can see is ready, perhaps overdue, for something more intensive and structured than weekly therapy alone can provide. Someone who is engaged in their treatment, intellectually oriented and outwardly high-functioning, but in significant and near-constant emotional distress in their closest relationships.
WHO IS A GOOD FIT
Assigned Female At Birth (the container addresses sexual trauma material extensively, which is best held in groups of humans who were socialized and identified as female in childhood; mixed containers serve different, more advanced, relational healing aims)
Childhood trauma survivor with CPTSD
High-functioning: performing well professionally but struggling significantly in personal and relational life
Motivated, self-directed, and oriented toward resolution rather than ongoing management
Capable of sustained self-directed engagement between sessions
Willing to commit to a six-month structured container and the investment it requires
Sober-minded and willing to forgo psychedelic-assisted treatment (e.g., ketamine, MDMA, psilocybin, ayahuasca) for the duration of the container. Trust is foundational to the container. Given the current variability in these protocols, I cannot responsibly assure a student that concurrent use would enhance rather than compromise the work.
WHO IS NOT A GOOD FIT
Assigned Male At Birth clients
Someone looking for a few sessions or a flexible therapeutic relationship
Someone who needs more generalized support rather than targeted, intensive training
Someone currently in crisis or facing significant external instability that would compete with the demands of a structured training container
HOW TO REFER
If someone on your caseload comes to mind as you read this, the referral I value most is a direct one: a note from you to them, naming what you see and why you think this container may be clinically appropriate for them at this stage.
They can learn more at www.cptsdmedicine.com, or reach out directly at tanner@cptsdmedicine.com or via Instagram DM @cptsdmedicine. The process begins with an application so I can assess mutual fit before we begin.
