Workshop:

 

Mastering the Treatment of Complex Trauma: Transforming Theory into Practice

Presented by Kathleen Martin, LCSW

September 15-16, 2017

Center for Tomorrow, University at Buffalo

8:45 a.m. – 4:15 p.m. both days

Description

This 2 day workshop will teach Structural Dissociation Theory and how it integrates into specific strategies and practical skills to safely and effectively treat complex trauma and developmental disorders.   Fraser’s Dissociative Table Technique will be taught and demonstrated along with ways to integrate this powerful tool throughout the entire treatment.  The art of time orientation will be demonstrated, giving clinicians many valuable tools and skills to eliminate the reliving that causes so much destabilization.  Treating dissociative phobias and “problem parts” such as perpetrators, teenagers, critical and young parts will be demonstrated to prepare them for trauma reprocessing.  Then specifics on how to titrate the reprocessing to keep the client inside the window of tolerance will complete this master class. 

Objectives

1.     Describe how the Apparently Normal Part of the Personality and the Emotional Part of the Personality are developed.

2.     Describe the 8 steps to Fraser’s Dissociative Table Technique

3.     Construct One Oblique Time Orientation intervention

4.     Explain how non-realization is the motivating reason for the development of persecutory parts

5.     Identify 2 ways to titrate reprocessing to keep the client inside the window of tolerance
