Jennifer Sweeton is a licensed clinical psychologist, internationally recognized specialist on the neuroscience of mental health, and author of Amazon’s best-selling book, Trauma Treatment Toolbox.
She is the sole developer of Neural Desensitization and Integration Training (known colloquially as NDIT), originally developed as a unique treatment for PTSD. An international expert on PTSD, Jennifer developed this highly specialized training program after more than 20 years of research and clinical experience. Dr. Sweeton teaches NDIT to other mental health professionals worldwide and uses NDIT tools and techniques to coach high performing career professionals seeking increased results through brain optimization.
Dr. Sweeton is a best-selling author, frequently writing books on neuroscience and trauma treatment, to include both self-help content and books for professionals seeking expert clinical education. Her books reflect over 15 years of clinical experience in specialized trauma treatment and over 20 years of experience in the study and research of psychology, neuroscience, and trauma’s effects on the brain. Through therapy, coaching, speaking, and writing, Dr. Sweeton brings applied neuroscience to the public and helps individuals learn how to heal the brain after life-changing traumatic events.
Her first book, Trauma Treatment Toolbox, guides clinicians on how to take a brain-based approach to trauma therapy. Through straightforward, easy-to-implement treatment techniques, her book provides actionable tools clinicians can use to help clients begin the process of healing the brain after trauma.
Apart from traditional cover-to-cover books, Jennifer also creates engaging and interactive products that provide trauma survivors with tangible, body-based interventions to retrain their brains and release them from the grips of trauma. Her Train Your Brain Card Deck provides trauma survivors 100 techniques to heal trauma and build long-term health and resilience.
Dr. Sweeton’s most recent book, Eight Key Brain Areas of Mental Health and Illness, has been named the Amazon #1 New Release in Cognitive Psychology after its November 2021 release. “Eight Key Brain Areas” thoroughly explains the main areas of the brain and their involvement in mental health and illness in a way therapists can easily understand and apply to help clients achieve healthy brain change.
Jennifer finds that her speaking and writing serve as the biggest motivators to increase her positive impact on the field of neuroscience and clinical mental health:
“The things that really motivate me in life are providing skills-based training and education to professionals (mental health clinicians but others as well) on the neuroscience of mental health, and the treatment of PTSD.”
At her core, Jennifer Sweeton is passionate about helping people heal after trauma, especially those who’ve found themselves suffering from life-limiting post-traumatic stress. Her therapy and coaching approaches, training seminars, and books on neuroscience and trauma serve as a vehicle to promote her passion of helping others achieve lasting recovery from psychological trauma.
