Complex Trauma & Dissociation Across the Lifespan Module 3: Working with Defensive Parts and Perpetrator Parts

The Part 2 training offers advanced treatment tools to work with individuals who have endured chronic and developmental trauma across various developmental stages. Early relational trauma often results in a self-organization that presents with fragmentation, entrenched defenses, trauma related phobias, and deeply rooted internal conflicts. These are often combined with layers of memories of trauma and adversity and an overarching dissociative personality structure.

For these individuals, adaptive information quite often is scarce, limited or even absent.
We will present case conceptualization and therapeutic techniques to work directly with trauma-related phobias and defenses that have the potential to stagnate the therapeutic process. Harmful behaviors will be addressed throughout various stages of development along with strategies to address them.

This presentation will offer portals, access routes and therapeutic strategies that provide titration and a gradual entrance into traumatogenic material. In addition, appropriate methods of treatment will be presented that honor the age-related needs, capacities and demands of our clients.
