Course Description:

Clients with histories of complex, relational, and attachment trauma often present with fiercely protective systems, making it difficult to proceed with depth therapy or enact behavioral change. Using theory and interventions from Internal Family Systems, the Model of Structural Dissociation, and the Comprehensive Resource Model, this workshop will enable you to understand your clients with trauma histories better and work with them in a neurobiologically-informed, safe, and attuned manner. Join this workshop to learn specific interventions for resourcing and working with parts you can use to bring healing to the clients who struggle the most.

Educational Goals

1. Understand the importance of resourcing in the treatment of complex PTSD within future clinical work.
2. Increase overall understanding of two parts models: Internal Family Systems (IFS) and the Model of Structural Dissociation.
3. Strengthen clinical skills in working with parts and the nuances of applying these approaches in the treatment of complex PTSD.
4. Enhance case conceptualization skills through the application of these concepts to real clinical case studies.
