Course meets the qualifications for 2 hours of continuing education credit for LMFTs, LCSWs, LPCCs, and/or LEPs as required by the California Board of Behavioral Sciences.
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 better understand your clients with trauma histories 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.
At the end of the workshop, participants will be able to:
-
Name the three types of protector parts, according to Internal Family Systems
-
Name the two types of parts, according to the Model of Structural Dissociation
-
State three benefits of resourcing in clients with complex trauma
-
Explain three resourcing interventions for use with clients with complex trauma
