Description
- Make smarter treatment calls using evidence-based strategies
- Handle anger driven trauma presentations with confidence
- Work with dissociation skillfully without reinforcing fragmentation
- Address trauma-related substance use with integrated approaches
Complex PTSD doesn’t just create symptoms – it alters your client’s sense of self.
… making treatment anything but straightforward.
The hard truth is … applying a single modality isn’t enough – because effective treatment often requires the ability to draw from multiple proven approaches at just the right times.
And that’s where this training comes in.
You’ll join Dr. Tamara McClintock Greenberg, acclaimed psychologist and top selling author of The Complex PTSD Coping Skills Workbook. She’s spent her career working with clients who have complex trauma histories and has been quoted in The New York Times, The Washington Post, and USA Today.
In this 6-hour training, she will equip you with an integrative and practical clinical toolkit drawn from DBT, ACT, CBT, mindfulness, and relational therapy.
… and show you how to match these interventions to each client’s stage of recovery and unique nervous system responses.
Join this training and walk away with:
- A clinically sound framework for selecting and applying evidence-based interventions with confidence
- Effective strategies for working with complex trauma when anger is the primary emotion
- Skills to recognize and treat dissociation without promoting fragmentation
- Integrative clinical approaches for addressing trauma-related substance use
- Clinical tools to effectively manage fear-based responses in sessions
Enhance your trauma treatment approach with clinical tools ready to use.
