Shadow Dancing Training

This training offers hands on experience implimenting principles as described in the book "Shadow Dancing: Embodied Recovery from Trauma and Addiction".

This work is illuminating and transformative, with a passionate plea to shift from the conventional medical model to a more nuanced, trauma-aware, and integrated methodology.

Drawing from his rich experiences as a nurse in addiction treatment centres in the Netherlands and the UK, Paul du Buf champions this paradigm shift. He emphasizes the importance of a holistic understanding of addiction, exploring the complex interplay between trauma and addiction and articulating the significant steps required for services to transition successfully into being trauma-aware.

"Shadow Dancing" interfaces innovative models - the Polyvagal Model, Integral Theory, and the Internal Family Systems model - into addiction treatments, adding depth to its narrative.

"Shadow Dancing" is the culmination of du Buf's years of knowledge and skill, amalgamated into a compelling blueprint for the future of addiction treatment.
