Welcome to Students of the Medicine

What is Students of the Medicine? 

Students of the Medicine is the dedicated home base for everything you need to heal your CPTSD at its root, freeing you permanently from repeating patterns of heartbreak.

In 2020, Tanner Wallace, founder of CPTSD Medicine, discovered complex trauma through an Amazon search that led her to Pete Walker’s book. Pairing this new knowledge with her expertise in intervention science, Tanner recognized that truly resolving her CPTSD required a holistic, structured approach—touching every aspect of life, both internally and externally. Unable to find such a comprehensive resource, she began doing what came naturally: conducting educational research, reviewing case studies, studying successful treatment plans, and systematically organizing a powerful curriculum for healing.

By 2021, Tanner shared her first practical tool for CPTSD Resolution, the Interaction Tracker, with a small, committed group of individuals. In 2022, she introduced the comprehensive framework called the 5 Circuits of Healing Power. By 2023, she had curated a set of resources into what became known as the CPTSD Wheel of Life. Then, in 2024, Tanner embarked on a remarkable 117 consecutive days of writing, producing the CPTSD Medicine Healing Protocol—a structured, holistic treatment manual now guiding Students in their healing journeys.

Today, Students of the Medicine is the central hub where you access the four foundational curriculums guiding your relational healing through the CPTSD Medicine Healing Protocol. Here you'll also find the Circle of Support community and coaching calls, providing consistent, compassionate encouragement and clarity as you journey forward.

Settle in, take up space, and know that you are fully supported here. Your healing journey is honored and deeply held.

A Structured Pathway to CPTSD Resolution

Healing from CPTSD can feel overwhelming without a clear roadmap. The structure of the CPTSD Medicine Healing Protocol  breaks down the complexities of healing into manageable, step-by-step units of study. By following this proven framework, you systematically learn unburden trauma energies, restore inner and outer harmony, and build sustainable, long-term health habits.

A Supportive, Global Community of CycleBreakers

Healing from complex trauma is deeply relational, and isolation can slow or even stall progress. Benefit from a diverse, but accepting and affirming community as a safe space to connect, share experiences, and learn from others who truly understand. This environment fosters accountability and prevents feelings of loneliness.

Accountability Built In

You may have struggled in the past to prioritize your healing amidst life’s demands. The concept of a six-month commitment with a sizable investments offers you a framework to intentionally commit to your recovery as a primary focus for a defined period. This creates the essential context for the deeper inner work that requires space and attention. Here, you are gifted not only the permission but also the support to prioritize your well-being.

Mainstream methods and concepts are reinterpreted through the lens of CPTSD to meet the unique needs of individuals on this journey. Frameworks like Human Design, Internal Family Systems, and others are translated and updated so that they are immediately actionable for those navigating complex trauma. This ensures you are equipped with practical solutions that work in real time.
