Introducing the eAcademy

The eAcademy is designed to offer clinicians ongoing support and education to treat chronically traumatised and dissociative patients.

Ellert Nijenhuis and his Associates offer a structured yet flexible learning environment that combines recorded seminars, live clinical training, group supervision, and case-based learning. Members are invited into an active learning process that moves between theory, observation, and clinical application. The emphasis is on developing not only knowledge, but also clinical perception, judgment, and intervention skills in real therapeutic situations.

A central focus of the eAcademy is Enactive Trauma Therapy, an approach that understands psychological suffering as emerging from embodied, relational, and action-based patterns of experience. Rather than treating symptoms in isolation, it explores how these patterns can be recognized, engaged, and transformed within the therapeutic relationship.

The eAcademy brings together clinicians from different countries who share a commitment to working more effectively with complex trauma. It is both a training ground and a growing professional community — a place where clinical understanding is continuously refined through dialogue, observation, and practice.

Ultimately, the aim is to support therapists in developing greater clarity and confidence in their work, so they can meet complex clinical situations with steadiness, depth, and effectiveness.

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

Members can join clinical trainings hosted throughout the year. Our Associates and Ellert offer trainings of varying group sizes and duration. These trainings are not recorded to maintain a sense of privacy.

supervisions

Each month, a recorded supervision session is added to the library (e.g. “Handling attachment needs and setting boundaries”). You will also receive recommendations from our library of 50+ videos on the same theme for deeper learning and exploration.

★★★★★

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.

★★★★★

Before the eAcademy, I often left sessions with a sense of uncertainty, especially with dissociative clients. Over time, something shifted — I now feel more present, more grounded, and more able to stay with what is happening in the room without getting lost in it. - B. Perel (Germany)
