Workshop #13: Internal Family Systems Therapy for Trauma Treatment | PRESENTED BY Daphne Fatter, Ph.D.
Developed by Richard Schwartz, Ph.D. forty years ago, Internal Family Systems (IFS) is becoming one of the fastest growing therapy models. The evidenced-based approach is non-pathologizing and attends to the complex impact of traumatic stress, making it effective for working with PTSD and Complex Trauma. Dr. Fatter will review the basic model of IFS, including theoretical assumptions, goals for treatment, and steps of using the IFS model. Dr. Fatter will apply an IFS framework common clinical presentations including how to conceptualize PTSD. This presentation will include case examples to describe the process of applying IFS to trauma treatment in individual therapy with adults. Dr. Fatter will guide an experiential exercise to demonstrate the model and invite clinicians to have increased awareness of their own parts. This presentation will also include ways IFS can be used to help clinicians cope with countertransference reactions and vicarious trauma that often occurs among clinicians when providing trauma treatment. Applications of IFS to legacy and cultural burdens, traumas that are passed down intergenerationally from parents, caregivers, and ancestors as well as burdens from collective trauma and dominant culture, will also be discussed.
Workshop #14: Conquering Anxiety: Concrete Strategies for Helping Your Anxious Adult Clients | PRESENTED BY Caroline Buzanko, Ph.D., R. Psych
Think you’ve mastered everything you need to know about anxiety management? Think again – you might be surprised!
When it comes to treating anxiety, even the most experienced professionals can unknowingly perpetuate ineffective methods. For instance, are you relying on reducing anxious feelings to gauge the success of your interventions? Do you use fear hierarchies? Do you advocate deep breathing or relaxation techniques as anxiety-busting strategies? If so, you may be unknowingly contributing to your clients’ cycle of anxiety.
If you’re committed to elevating your understanding of emotional health and improving outcomes for anxious clients, this workshop is indispensable. It is essential to revolutionize your approach to anxiety and emotional well-being. Go beyond the surface to explore the intricacies of anxiety and emotion regulation. Seamlessly blending the latest research with practical techniques, this workshop equips you with actionable insights that can be applied to real-world cases immediately.
Why Attend?
- Unlock a robust toolbox of effective interventions backed by cutting-edge research.
- Gain a deep, nuanced understanding of anxiety, going beyond traditional methods that may inadvertently perpetuate anxiety.
- Every principle is illuminated with real-life case studies, ensuring the knowledge you acquire is directly applied in your practice.
- Walk away with a fresh perspective about anxiety and an arsenal of strategies that actually make a difference.
Workshop #15: Healing the Wounded Self, Part 1 | PRESENTED BY Patti Ashley, Ph.D., LPC
Treating trauma in clinical practice is an integral part of effective treatment outcomes. Sometimes clinicians feel stuck and unable to recognize what is keeping a client from moving forward. Often underneath trauma lies a sense of shame or self-loathing. According to trauma experts such as Peter Levin, Bessel van der Kolk, and Gabor Mate’ trauma isn’t something that happens to you, it is what happens inside you.
Challenging trauma clients often harbor feelings of not being good-enough, a deep fear of judgement, and have difficulty being vulnerable in treatment and other relationships. These feelings usually begin with poor attachment and early childhood influences, which then lead to an inability to self-regulate and/or find emotional safety throughout life.
Trauma changes the brain and nervous system resulting in depression, anxiety, fear, shame, rage, addiction, eating disorders, relationship difficulties, and other clinical problems. So much of what trauma clients experience hides in the subconscious until excavated and transformed into post-traumatic growth.
Dr. Patti Ashley combines decades of evidenced based work, neuroscience, polyvagal theory, attachment research, and various treatment modalities to help clients break free from trauma and find ways to access emotional safety and authenticity.
This 3 hour training will provide clinicians with a deeper understanding of the impact of explicit trauma and the correlating implicit shame in clinical practice. Tools and techniques for effective treatment including person-centered empathy, rescripting, right-brain psychotherapy, creative arts, mindfulness, self-compassion, and much more will be explored.
Day Three Afternoon 12:45pm – 4:00pm:
Workshop #16: Polyvagal Theory and Trauma-Informed Stabilization Tools | PRESENTED BY Daphne Fatter, Ph.D.
Polyvagal Theory has become a common go-to resource in trauma treatment. However, clinicians often have difficulty understanding what Polyvagal Theory is and how to incorporate it into effective trauma treatment. Dr. Fatter will discuss Polyvagal Theory in the context of treating PTSD and complex trauma, including how it fits in to a traditional three phase model for trauma recovery. As such, the importance of creating a treatment plan around arousal regulation will be examined. Dr. Fatter will explain in detail symptoms of hyper-arousal, hypo-arousal and calm states of the autonomic nervous system based on Polyvagal Theory. This will help clinicians better identify signs of what state clients are in and help clinicians be able to educate clients about their nervous system. Specific trauma-informed stabilization tools will be discussed that support Polyvagal Theory. There will be opportunities for participants to experience and practice these tools themselves. This presentation will be interactive and experiential!
