Historically, exposure-based treatments have been considered the “gold standard” for treating PTSD. However, with additional research regarding exposure and the emergence of CPTSD, treatment is now expanding to consider phased treatment as well as non-exposure-based treatment for PTSD and CPTSD. While still debated, the current recommendations for CPTSD treatment follow a three phased model as the presence of Disturbances of Self Organization, require more stabilization. In this 6-hour webinar, Dr. Carissa Muth will present a phased approach to addressing CPTSD with the first phase focusing on stabilization and developing a positive sense of self. When outlining the second phase of treatment, Dr. Muth will present an overview and techniques for both exposure and non-exposure evidence-based treatments for trauma. In the last phase, integration, Dr. Muth will discuss the utilization of meaning-based therapeutic techniques to help clients flourish and prevent symptom relapse.

  • Understand the goals and tools to implement a phased treatment for CPTSD
  • Develop techniques to address DSO including establishing a positive, stable sense of self
  • Understand the differentiation between CPTSD and BPD
  • Implement tools for both exposure and non-exposure PTSD treatment
  • Describe appropriate goals and expected outcomes for CPTSD treatment
