An Integrated Approach to Treating Complex Trauma | PRESENTED BY Sheri Van Dijk, MSW, RSW

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, with 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.

As our understanding of trauma continues to evolve, so does our understanding of how to treat it. In this webinar, Sheri Van Dijk will teach some essential perspectives and skills to help you and your clients get unstuck in treatment. In this webinar you will learn the differences between PTSD and C-PTSD before delving into leading edge, evidence-based principles in the treatment of clients experiencing the sequelae of trauma, including theories to inform treatment of clients with complex trauma histories; and skills to help clients ground and regulate emotions.
