About the Course:
Therapists can be overwhelmed by working with clients with frequent crises that threaten the life, safety, and health of the client. Often, clients suffering from Complex Trauma and Dissociative Disorders present with a phenomenal array of crisis events. Therapists often struggle with the complexity, frequency, and severity of these events, and their overwhelming emotional toll on both client and therapist. This webinar will explore specific guidelines and techniques that have been developed for trauma survivors, as well as present a strategy of shifting from crisis management to crisis prevention as the treatment progresses. The role of various methods of intervention, including hypnosis will be discussed. Indications for hospitalization as well as alternatives to hospitalization will also be reviewed.
It has been said that within each crisis is an opportunity. We will approach the topic of crisis intervention from the perspective of both the resilience and specific vulnerability of trauma survivors to crisis reactions. Strategies for eliciting client’s resilience in the midst of crisis will be reviewed, as well as ways of utilizing crisis to strengthen clients coping resources and self-efficacy. The impact of crisis on the therapist and common countertransference dilemmas will also be discussed. Our goal for the webinar is to develop enhanced effectiveness in navigating the rough waters of client’s crises.
