COMPLEX TRAUMA & DISSOCIATION ACROSS THE LIFESPAN

Theory, Clinical Assessment, and Stabilization

Pandemic stresses are further activating dissociative and other entrenched defenses in clients of all ages with complex trauma and dissociation. This may cause significant dysregulation and distress, making treatment more challenging than usual.
