Day Two (May 7, 2024) Workshop Choices:

Day Two Morning 8:30am – 11:45am: 

Workshop #7: Stress and Trauma: An Attachment-Based Developmental Perspective, Part 1  | PRESENTED BY Gordon Neufeld, Ph.D.

Fresh insights from the sciences of development, emotion and attachment shed light on the hidden wisdom of the stress response, the essence of trauma, and the pivotal role of both attachment and emotion in etiology and recovery. What is also revealed in putting the pieces together is a common denominator that cuts across syndromes and diagnoses and informs intervention. While the material is presented with clinicians in mind, this model of stress and trauma applies across all ages and venues, including private practice, treatment programs, as well as personal healing and recovery. This model also has significant implications for the prevention, recognition and treatment of distressed children and youth, whether via the school, the family, special programs or direct treatment.

Workshop #8: Echoes of Trauma: Emotion-Focused Interpersonal Therapy for Individuals with Trauma, Part 1 | PRESENTED BY Leanne Campbell, Ph.D., R. Psych

Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT; S. Johnson) is best known as a potent couple intervention but has always, from its inception, been used in clinical practice with individuals.  This workshop focuses on Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy (EFIT) as it applies to working with individuals struggling with the echoes of trauma.  Attachment science and an Experiential Humanistic approach offer a map that simplifies how we view and frame clients’ problems, and how we intervene across the three-stage therapy process.  The ‘experiential assessment’ tunes the therapist into clients’ strengths and vulnerabilities to chart clients’ therapeutic journey toward a felt sense of security with self and others – the pathway to symptom resolution and the antidote to trauma.

You’ll discover:

  • The key elements of the attachment perspective and its significance for understanding personality and the impacts of trauma
  • A guide for framing the problem in EFIT and charting the course of therapy toward expanding the sense of self and removing the barriers to growth and connection
  • An on-target map for the creation of transformative moments where vulnerabilities are encountered with balance and competence
  • A path to shape corrective emotional experiences, regulating and organizing inner experience, transforming trauma, and promoting engagement with others
  • The macro EFIT intervention sequence -the EFT Tango and experiential micro-interventions, such as tracking, reflection and validation – key skills to create change in every session

Workshop #9: Navigating Trauma & Addictions: Treatment & Assessment Interventions | PRESENTED BY Carissa Muth, Psy.D., CCC, R.Psych

In this workshop, you will be provided with tools to understand the complexity involved in the development of substance use disorder when co-morbid with a trauma related diagnosis. Attendees will leave the workshop equipped with practical techniques for treating those struggling with addictions and comorbid trauma including basics of assessments, working with families, and providing post-treatment care.  Additionally, various intervention methods will be overviewed including CBT and narrative therapy in order to provide the client with techniques to implement with a variety of client presentations.

Day Two Afternoon 12:45pm – 4:00pm:
