Free Online Masterclass
Presented by Bonita Ackerman Du Preez, Master Therapist
Why trauma-related symptoms can persist - even after talk therapy, coping strategies, or years of self-work
The most common reasons traditional approaches fall short, and how well-meaning methods can miss what the nervous system actually needs
How the brain and nervous system become locked into fight, flight, or freeze, and what helps them begin to reset safely
Why recovery can feel out of reach, even for capable, motivated people - and what changes when the right systems are addressed in the right order




Bonita Ackerman du Preez is a certified trauma recovery practitioner, therapist, and coach specialising in trauma-related nervous system patterns.

Her work focuses on understanding why trauma symptoms persist, even after talk therapy and coping strategies - and on helping clients make sense of the brain–body patterns driving those experiences.
In this free educational masterclass, Bonita explains the core principles behind her neuroscience-based approach, The Trauma Recovery Method™, and how it addresses trauma at the level of the brain and nervous system.
