Description

To make a difference, you work with trauma.

However, developmental trauma and disordered attachment have profoundly harmful impacts on people who encounter them – and the signs and symptoms of dissociation, even for professionals, can be difficult to spot.

And many persons suffering from trauma-related dissociation and dissociative disorders deliberately seek to conceal their difficulties, with stigma and shame driving their concealment and preventing them from revealing the full depth of their anguish with you. When the source of their issues cannot be determined, many people become “revolving door” patients, moving in and out of the mental health system.

They are in severe need of your assistance.

This recording will equip you to face the clinical problems of recognizing and treating people on the dissociative spectrum.

Key Advantages:

Specialized ways for screening people who have experienced extreme trauma and may be dissociating.
Maintain therapeutic boundaries while increasing attunement with dissociated clients.
Step-by-step procedures for efficiently establishing and maintaining a sense of trust and safety.
Detailed instructions on how to use therapeutic treatments to calm and ground dissociative clients.
Suicidal crisis prevention and management skills.
Trauma Focused CBT, EMDR, and somatic methods are employed in treatment.

Don’t pass up this opportunity to add vital skills and resources to your trauma practice and prevent individuals seeking your assistance from becoming “revolving door” patients.
