Lion Theory Recovery Model Workshop
Free Online Workshop | 4 Weeks | 4 Sessions | 60 Minutes Each
You’re not broken. You’ve been through something. Recovery is possible.
The Lion Theory Recovery Model Workshop brings together lived experience and the academic field of trauma recovery science to help adults better understand the lasting effects of trauma and develop practical tools to support recovery. Traumatic experiences can influence our thoughts, emotions, behaviours and physiological responses. Sometimes, the survival patterns we develop to cope with difficult experiences continue long after the original threat has passed.
This free, four-week online workshop explores how these responses work and introduces practical approaches to help participants build resilience, improve emotional regulation and develop healthier ways of responding to stress.
What will you learn?
The workshop focuses on four interconnected areas of recovery, using Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Resilience Therapy and Sensory Therapy.
Week 1: Thoughts — Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
Explore negative, intrusive and racing thoughts. Learn how thoughts, emotions and behaviours influence one another, and discover techniques to help identify and challenge unhelpful thinking patterns.
Week 2: Emotions — Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)
Discover practical approaches to managing intense emotions, strengthening emotional regulation and developing healthier coping skills.
Week 3: Behaviours — Resilience Therapy
Explore how childhood trauma and difficult experiences can shape behaviour. Develop a greater understanding of survival patterns and learn approaches that support resilience and psychological wellbeing.
Week 4: Physiological Responses — Sensory Therapy
Understand how the body responds to stress and perceived threats. Explore sensory-based techniques that may help regulate the body's stress responses and support emotional regulation.
Who is the workshop for?
The workshop is designed for adults who want to better understand the effects of trauma, recognise survival patterns and explore practical ways to support their recovery.
Whether you are beginning to explore your experiences or looking for additional tools to support your wellbeing, the workshop offers an opportunity to learn in an accessible, supportive environment.

Recovery is not about erasing the past. It is about understanding how past experiences may affect the present and developing new ways to respond to life's challenges.
The Lion Theory Recovery Model Workshop aims to help participants build self-awareness, strengthen resilience and explore practical strategies for moving beyond survival patterns.
You deserve the opportunity to understand yourself, build strength and move towards a brighter future.

WORKSHOP: Understanding the Effects of Childhood Trauma
A deeper understanding. A more compassionate approach. A lasting difference.
The Lion Theory Project invites health professionals to deepen their understanding of childhood trauma and the lasting impact it can have on the people they support.
Join leading childhood trauma expert Joanne Atkins for an insightful workshop exploring how childhood experiences can shape adult behaviour, emotional regulation, relationships, and everyday life.
Childhood trauma does not always show up in ways we expect. It can influence how people respond to stress, build relationships, manage emotions, and navigate the world around them. Behaviours that may appear challenging, defensive, or difficult to understand can sometimes be rooted in earlier experiences of trauma.
What will you gain from this workshop?
• A deeper understanding of childhood trauma: Explore how early experiences can affect people throughout adulthood.
• Recognising trauma-related behaviours: Develop greater awareness of behaviours that may be connected to childhood trauma.
• Working more effectively with clients: Explore compassionate, trauma-informed ways of supporting the people in your care.
• Understanding lived experience: Gain a greater appreciation of what it can feel like to live with the long-term effects of childhood trauma.
Why does this matter?
Behind every behaviour is a person with their own experiences, challenges, and story. By developing a deeper understanding of childhood trauma, health professionals can help create safer, more supportive relationships where people feel heard, understood, and respected.
This workshop is an opportunity to look beyond behaviour, build understanding, and strengthen a compassionate approach to care and recovery.
Better understanding. Better support. Lasting change.
