Abstract:
Treatment of clients with a complex trauma history and/or with dissociative parts presents unique clinical challenges in every phase of trauma treatment. How do we navigate questions of treatment planning and where to start? When is a client ready for trauma processing? How do we invite access to traumatic material without triggering a crisis or switching? In this workshop, learn through a combination of didactic content and experiential exercises how teaching clients with cPTSD and/or structural dissociation two key skills early in treatment fosters a sense of inner safety and lays the foundation for healing from past trauma, while hedging against the two most common reasons for treatment failure.
Learning Objectives:
- List the 5 symptoms of dissociation and 3 disturbances in self-organization in cPTSD
- Summarize current treatment guidelines for cPTSDSummarize clinical challenges posed by insecure attachment
- Demonstrate the two critical skills of present orienting and maintaining dual awareness
- Minimize the risk of re-traumatization during trauma reprocessing
