One of the biggest challenges in trauma recovery is helping clients effectively regulate nervous system arousal so that clients can tolerate and benefit from trauma processing. In this webinar, Dr. Fatter will discuss why arousal regulation is crucial for effective trauma treatment. This webinar will review the impact of traumatic stress on the brain in tangible ways to help clinicians better conceptualize how trauma alters the body’s arousal system. In addition, this webinar 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 know signs of what state clients are in and help clinicians be able to educate clients about their nervous system. Clinicians will learn a phase-oriented evidence-based structure for pacing the intensity of trauma treatment. In addition, this webinar will explore three research-informed adjunctive therapies to help clients maintain stabilization and regulate arousal.

This webinar will also specifically focus on the second phase of trauma recovery which is integrating traumatic memories in trauma treatment. Many clinicians struggle with understanding what actually happens during trauma processing. This webinar will review how traumatic memory differs from non-traumatic memory. Culturally relevant factors to discuss with clients before trauma processing will be explored. The two gold standard evidence-based “top down” models for trauma exposure therapy will be presented: prolonged exposure therapy and cognitive processing therapy. In addition, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) and internal family systems (IFS), two evidenced-based “bottom up” models, will also be discussed. This webinar will include case examples and describe how each model differs in its conceptualization of trauma and specific treatment approach in integrating traumatic memories. Clinical considerations including strategies to know your client is or is not ready for trauma processing will be presented in addition to ways to determine your client is “done” with the trauma processing stage of treatment. Clinicians at any stage of their career will benefit from this webinar!
