Soleil Psychotherapy is pleased to offer the below CE training in collaboration with Emerge Psychology Group

Workshop Description

Responses to chronic interpersonal violence exposure, particularly during sensitive developmental periods, often include a wide range of more broad, severe, and enduring reactions in addition to PTSD symptoms. These symptoms often include difficulties with emotion regulation and distress tolerance, as well as self-harming behaviors, dissociation, and somatic concerns. Furthermore, individuals with complex trauma may experience grief reactions in response to non-death losses that impact them, alongside trauma experiences. In general, professionals and trainees may receive very little formal trauma training, and even less training in appropriate treatment approaches to assist clients with complex trauma and non-death losses, leaving them feeling insufficiently prepared to effectively address the needs of these individuals.

This workshop will focus on increasing participants’ awareness of the unique trauma- and grief-related related symptoms associated with chronic interpersonal violence exposure and non-death losses, particularly during sensitive developmental periods, helping them identify their clients’ immediate and long-term trauma-related needs, select and utilize safe, practical, evidence-based/evidence-informed treatment approaches, and build and practice creative skills to help clients adjust and thrive. In particular, the elements and use of stage-oriented integrated treatment approaches will be described and explained. The use of clinical hypnosis to augment evidence-based trauma treatment will also be discussed. Participants will gain the knowledge, skills, and resources they need to work confidently and effectively with adults who have complex trauma and grief presentations.
