Treating Complex Trauma: An Integrated Approach
Treating Complex Trauma: An Integrated Approach is organized by Core Wellness LLC and will be held on Aug 19, 2024.
Course Description:
The term trauma is used to describe the challenging emotional consequences experienced by someone who has lived through a distressing event. These consequences can involve Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), which has been identified as a global health issue, and has prevalence rates ranging from 1.3% to 37.4% (and even higher in clinical populations). But what happens when the trauma occurs early in life, and/or involves on-going or repetitive exposure to traumatic events? In these cases, individuals will often experience Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (C-PTSD), and/or dissociative disorders such as Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID).
As our understanding of trauma continues to evolve and grow, so does our understanding of how to treat it. In this webinar, Sheri Van Dijk will bring together some of the most important, evidence-based principles in the treatment of clients experiencing the sequelae of trauma.
