Description

Increasingly, therapists are under pressure to provide short-term treatment for long-term issues. But how can we possibly treat trauma briefly? After all, many trauma treatments focus on helping the client remember and articulate what happened to them. It’s also especially difficult to provide short-term care for clients who exhibit suicidal or self-destructive behaviours, or for dysregulated clients who often find quick methods difficult to tolerate. So, what’s a trauma therapist to do? The answer lies in new, neurobiologically-informed treatments. Rather than treating traumatic events, neuroscience teaches us to treat their effects. In this recording, you’ll discover how to:

  • Pace the treatment to fit the demands of managed care
  • Capitalize on the body’s innate capacity to heal
  • Focus on traumatic effects rather than events
  • Apply a safe, neurobiologically informed brief therapy model that offers hope to trauma survivors
