Meet Caitlin Rose
Caitlin Rose is a trauma consultant and educator dedicated to helping therapists bridge the gap between somatic theory and practical application. With a deep understanding that trauma lives in the body, Caitlin teaches clinicians how to move beyond mechanistic views of regulation into a dynamic of Nervous System Collaboration. Her work focuses on leveling the playing field for trauma survivors, who often live in states of chronic constriction and collapse, by equipping practitioners with tools to support nervous system capacity alongside trauma processing.
Through her work at Build Resilience, Caitlin guides therapists in creating conditions where clients can experience agency from the start, build trust and safety directly with their nervous systems, and sustain progress between sessions. She is passionate about transforming the therapeutic process into one that is more efficient, compassionate, and deeply human—for both client and clinician.
Caitlin’s approach empowers practitioners who want to push the edges of their skills, offering a missing foundation that makes everything else they do more powerful.
