Workshop:
Mastering the Treatment of Complex Trauma: Transforming Theory into Practice
by
Kathleen Martin, LCSW
Lexington, KY
May 10 - 11, 2019 ~ 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.

- Explain why attention to increasing the tolerance of the positive affect of calm is mandatory in treating complex trauma.
