Ancestral principles are the living foundation that have not been extinguished through oppression in colonization and remain vibrant parts of many indigenous communities and the way they understand healing from trauma. In this recording, we will review the fundamental teachings that assisted in the development of a recent neurofeedback research study, and the development and delivery of two trauma trainings for Indigenous service providers.

Patricia Vickers, PhD, grounds her trauma service training and clinical sessions on ancestral law and ancestral teachings of soul loss and soul retrieval and incorporates these understandings in her sessions.
