COMPLEX TRAUMA & DISSOCIATION ACROSS THE LIFESPAN

Theory, Clinical Assessment, and Stabilization

Part 1

Pandemic stresses are further activating dissociative and other entrenched defenses in clients of all ages with complex trauma and dissociation. This may cause significant dysregulation and distress, making treatment more challenging than usual. This training offers a unique integration of approaches across the lifespan, from children to the elderly, providing clinicians with the basic theory, clinical assessment skills, and stabilization strategies to support clients coping with the effects of early and chronic trauma.

Clinicians attending this training will be able to:
