Earn 12 Hour CPD Certificate: Live Training
Grounded in the current neurological and clinical research, this is a Relational T-FCBT approach. We look at how therapy for Complex PTSD can differ from single event trauma, common myths of trauma-focused treatment, and how to avoid the common pitfalls therapy. Offering Compassionate, safe and effective ways forward.
Current theories of Complex-PTSD and dissociation, updates in neuroscience and the role of memory processes in the development of PTSD will be explored, along with case conceptualization, treatment planning and phase-orientated therapy.
This Complex Trauma Workshop has been specifically designed to build on and extend the work you completed in the PTSD Master Class. We will cover new, in-depth material about working effectively with dissociation, the freeze response, overwhelming affect and sensory images, shame and self-loathing, numbing and disconnection. Plus increase our understanding of developmental trauma from a neurobiological perspective (see below).
With the help of a female professional actor (client with Complex PTSD, stemming from developmental trauma), we will work with high levels of dissociation and self-harm, dive into real work complexities and discuss therapy pitfalls & the need for difficult balanced decisions. Our aim is to offer credible case material that is realistic and relevant to the work that you do, rather than easy textbook examples. A fantastic opportunity to look inside the therapy process and extensive debrief into the decision making & intervention processes.
