Therapeutic Practice

This training is designed for practitioners working in a counselling and/or therapeutic role with complex trauma clients, and utilise clinical assessment, case formulation and treatment/care planning in their daily practice. Phase 2 (Trauma Processing) covers application of strategies for safe work informed by an understanding of traumatic memory and explores Phase 3 (Integration), building your skills to better support your clients to integrate their trauma into their life story.

This interactive training presents a framework for working with complex trauma clients, drawing on current research in trauma theory and therapy, attachment, affective neuroscience and interpersonal neurobiology. It explores the importance of a phased approach for complex trauma clients with a primary focus on Phase 1 Safety and Stabilisation. It provides essential knowledge and tools to enhance practice and possibilities for recovery for complex trauma clients.

This training focuses dissociation and considers dissociation as a continuum, explores dissociation in everyday life and expands on this to explore complex trauma-related dissociation. Dissociation can be subtle and hard to detect and is often overlooked in treatment for this reason. This training program provides key information and strategies to identify dissociation and work with people experiencing dissociation in therapeutic settings.
