Understand the importance of a healthy treatment frame with clear boundaries.

Course Breakdown

Gain clarity on the concept of trauma-related dissociation from the theory of structural dissociation, derived from the work of Pierre Janet. Understand your clients who have experienced trauma from a Janetian perspective. Ultimately, learn a treatment technique to heighten your client’s adaptive and integrative capacity to improve their mental health.
Have all your questions regarding the first phase of treatment for complex dissociative disorders answered. Specifically, understand the importance of developing a working alliance with all parts of your clients, even the hostile parts. This overview and case formulation is valuable regardless of your theoretical orientation.

Learn to tackle resistance in your clients who have complex PTSD. Understand how to avoid chronic resistance as a phobic avoidance, co-created by therapist and client. Identify how you can overcome these defenses with them.

You will be able to watch on-demand without limits, at a time that suits you. You will also receive additional resources such as PowerPoint presentations and handouts.

The event will also include additional pre-recorded webinars on the topic.
