It is estimated that 30 percent of individuals diagnosed with PTSD are resistant to treatment. In other words, clients continue to experience little reduction in their symptoms despite completing the gold standard of treatment. For counsellors, this can lead to a sense of helplessness and confusion as to next steps to help clients. In this webinar, Dr. Muth will pull from her years of experience at an inpatient treatment facility working with severe and often treatment resistant clients to provide participants with guidance on helping such individuals in need.

Integrating the latest research in neuroscience and psychology, this webinar will present a Posttraumatic Growth perspective of addressing PTSD using insights from positive psychology. The framework presented will allow participants to assess, conceptualize, and treat individuals presenting with trauma related symptoms.

Why Attend?

  • Updated research: While PTSD is often used as a catch all for trauma related symptoms, there are actually multiple diagnoses related to trauma including Adjustment Disorder and CPTSD. This webinar will cover updated research on trauma related disorders from the ICD-11 and DSM-5-TR and various evidenced based treatment modalities for each. This includes new research being completed such as and overview of psychedelic treatments.
  • Expansion of counselling toolbox: Application of therapeutic methodology and intervention can be confusing and leave a gap between knowledge and application. This webinar will provide practical therapeutic interventions, grounded in well-established methodology, that therapists can implement immediately.
  • Broadened understanding: The majority of individuals with PTSD also have a co-morbid psychiatric diagnosis. Often even after PTSD is treated, clients remain unwell and at times practitioners continue to follow PTSD treatment protocols missing a broader conceptualization and treatment plan addressing persistent co-morbid symptoms. This webinar will present case examples of such a scenario and present a holistic framework for addressing the complexity of trauma related psychological symptoms.
