EMDR (1.0/2.0), DBT, PE, ACT, TF-CBT, CPT, SE, SP, AEDP, IFS, IPNB, BSP, PAP... and more. There are many modalities that show effectiveness in working with trauma - but what are the common factors that they share and that research has demonstrated are important ingredients in treating trauma? In the age of AI, it is increasingly important for clinicians to go beyond techniques and manualized treatment plans to uplevel their clinical thinking. This workshop synthesizes the alphabet soup of treatment modalities into core principles for more effective case conceptualization and clinical interventions. Polyvagal Theory and Phase-Oriented Treatment provide the overall scaffolding for the common factor treatment approach.
Specific topics that will be covered include:
- Using DBT/ACT for Phase 1 and CBT for Phase 3 Work
- Integrating EMDR/Somatic/Ego State Therapies for Phase 2 Work
- Explicit/Implicit Trauma Memory Processing
- Neurobiologically-informed Therapeutic Relationship Building For Complex PTSD Clients
- Leveraging Client's Resilience and Inner Healing Intelligence, and
- Case Conceptualization in Working with Shame/Dissociation
Learning Objectives
By the end of this course participants will be able to:
- Demonstrate knowledge of three neurobiologically-based trauma responses and their clinical implications.
- Demonstrate knowledge of phase-oriented treatment approach in working with trauma.
- Specify three interventions for regulating autonomic arousal.
- Employ three interventions that ensure safe, successful memory processing.
- Determine the role of shame as an adaptation to trauma in relation to treatment planning.
Educational Goals
This presentation prepares participants to use an integrative, evidence-based framework to conceptualize working with trauma and provide more effective and appropriate clinical interventions.
