Tholáge™ (formerly known as RELEASE) is a neuropsychotherapeutic system of somatic, eye-movement, and mentalization techniques, used for treating trauma, depression, anxiety, and numerous other mental disorders. This treatment was studied first by the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater (UWW), and then by the UW system. There has also been a neuroimaging study of Tholáge™ at GE HealthCare global headquarters, and new studies are poised to begin at other universities.
In this 6-day, virtual, and synchronous training, participants will learn Tholáge™ techniques to help clients access suppressed emotions, which are transdiagnostic of numerous mental health disorders. Tholáge™ techniques are natural, non-invasive biological and mental exercises shown to access specific neurochemicals, which help clients access suppressed emotions. Tholáge™ also neurologically replicates the middle of the window of tolerance and social connectedness. Current research has shown that these neurochemicals are ideal for reducing attachment anxiety, which further increases emotion processing and reduces symptoms.
Tholáge™ training helps improve clinical understanding of traumatic memory at the neural level and how to change the physiological impact of those memories in a deeper way than other treatments. It also trains you in approaches that create new, healthier neural pathways over time.
After doing the training, you will use the designation for Tholáge Neuropsychotherapy (“TN”). You will also receive your CE certificate for 39 hours (for Parts 1 & 2 combined), from Veduta Center. However, to receive your complete Tholáge certification, with the designation “TN-C”, you must complete at least 10 hours of virtual, group supervision (5 sessions, 2 hours each) in the year after your training.
Trainers have the designation “TN-T.” If you are interested in becoming a trainer & working as an independent contractor of Tholáge Wellness, reach out to Annette Reiter.
