  • Understand the importance of a healthy treatment frame with clear boundaries.
  • Be able to use techniques to help the patient regulate emotions and deal with severe PTSD and dissociative symptoms.
  • Develop a systemic approach in working with these parts, including child parts (also pre-verbal parts), hostile and perpetrator-imitating parts, perpetrator-idealizing parts.
  • Use therapeutic approaches that call upon the patient’s/client’s imaginative capacity.

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 8 additional pre-recorded hours by Kathy Steele which you can watch on-demand in your own time: Resolving Traumatic Memory in Complex PTSD and Dissociative Disorders

This video-course will explore specific approaches to resolving traumatic memory in patients with Complex PTSD and Dissociative Disorders, using a variety of therapeutic strategies. The concept of realization and its central role in resolving traumatic memory will be discussed. Specific interventions will be explored, including hypnotic imagery and other approaches that can be utilized when appropriate, as well as several ways to titrate traumatic experiences. The two evidence-based approaches of EMDR and exposure will be discussed, while also exploring both their utility and their limitations with severe trauma and dissociation. One of the unique challenges of approaching dissociated traumatic memories is how to support not only the person as a whole, but each dissociative part in remaining grounded and present. Participants will learn how to work with non-verbal or pre-verbal memory as well as memories that have a verbal narrative. The importance of “bearing witness,” in which memory is shared in relationship as a narrative story, rather than always viewed as a therapeutic problem, will also be discussed. Finally, the video course will examine how to determine which approaches might be most helpful to a particular patient.
