A dissociated client can crush your clinical confidence. You replay sessions and wonder...
What could I have said differently? What did I miss? How could I have connected more?
It's unnerving! You can't get these clients to open up. And, when you do, it's like you're walking on eggshells... trying not to trigger angry defences or frighten your client back into the safety of dissociation. It can be a major obstacle to therapy. But it's your mission to help your clients learn to cope with their pain, not disconnect.
The good news for you is our expert Pam Stavropoulos has dedicated her career to supporting people through their dissociation & trauma. You're going to learn straight-forward ways to resolving hard to recognize dissociative symptoms and re-enactments that can be happening subtly right there in a session.

This seminar has been designed to extend the clinical knowledge and applied skill of Psychologists, Counsellors, Psychotherapists, Coaches, Social Workers and Psychiatrists with little knowledge of Existential theory and practice.
Many clinicians are aware of trauma but less aware of trauma-related dissociation, particularly in relation to complex presentations. For this reason, prior knowledge is not assumed and practitioners with diverse qualifications and skill levels will benefit. Therapists already attuned to complex trauma and dissociation will also benefit from the direct focus on clinical challenges posed by enactments in the therapy room and how to address them.
