Ellert’s online
learning community
For therapists and clinicians who work with chronically traumatised and dissociative patients
Learning and Support
All Year Round
▶ Live Masterclasses
Join Ellert’s online masterclasses discussing relevant themes on treating dissociative patients. These classes are recorded and added to the video library so you can (re)watch these at a later time.
▶ clinical trainings + group supervisions
Members can join the trainings in small groups. Our Associates lead these trainings on the theme of the most recent masterclasses. Ellert’s supervisions are recorded and added to the video library. Supervision questions include how to set boundaries and how to work with filters.▶ Large video library
The eAcademy platform has over 80 videos for English speaking members. Topics range from basic concepts, phobias, therapists’ longings and more clinical themes.▶ Get certified
Show what you've learned: after one year of membership, you can take an online test on the first 12 video classes and get certified. Two attempts are free of charge, and so far everyone who has taken the test has passed. ▶ Free annual Community-Weekend (see below) ▼▼

★★★★★
Ellert’s teachings consistently connects theory to real clinical situations, especially in relating to the different dissociative agents - S. Welsh, clinical psychologist (UK)
★★★★★
This training changed how I relate to my clients. I feel less rushed to “fix” and more able to feel what is actually happening in the moment. This alone has made my work more effective. - P. Meier (Switzerland)
★★★★★
My confidence in working with complex trauma has grown significantly. It proves to be a continuous learning process. The focus on supervision and lived clinical processes has been especially valuable.- A. Moen (Norway), member since 2023
★★★★★
Before the eAcademy, I often left sessions with dissociative clients feeling uncertain. Now I feel more present and grounded, and able to stay with what is happening in the room. – B. Perl (Germany)
★★★★★
Ellert brings deep trauma theory and real clinical practice together in a way I have rarely experienced. Every session leaves me with something new to take into my work with patients.
– L. Fischer, psychotherapist (Austria)

I don’t like online learning…
The eAcademy can’t be compared to regular YouTube videos and MOOCs. Especially when you join the clinical training you will experience you’re part of a smart group of clinicians. We also host the Community Weekend to strengthen the ties between members. The Nijenhuis Family Story
of the eAcademy
Realising he’s not going to live forever,
Ellert finally gave in to his daughter Kirande’s plea to digitalise his knowledge.
After Christmas lunch in 2021, father and daughter escaped from the festivities
to fine-tune the educational service package. The eAcademy was launched on New Year’s Eve. Within the first month, we welcomed our 200th member.
To say that we were positively overwhelmed, would be an understatement.
Since then, so much has happened. Soon after we started, we brought Associates into our team, because together you can move more mountains. That team is still growing today. Alongside Ellert's online masterclasses, we added group supervisions to the eAcademy and developed an online basic course in enactive trauma therapy. We organised conferences in Brussels and Frankfurt, and Ellert is working on a new book, which we hope to publish in 2027.
Through all of this, our aim has stayed the same: to train and support as many therapists, doctors, nurses and students as possible in recognising and treating dissociative disorders. Many patients still go unrecognised for years. By sharing Ellert's knowledge widely, and by learning from one another as a community, we hope to raise awareness of dissociation and help more patients find the care they need.
Warm regards,
Ellert and Kirande Nijenhuis
