Course Description

6 hours of continuing education credits are available, through R. Cassidy Seminars for professionals who complete “Trauma Stabilization & Treatment Planning: A Road Map” self-paced video course.

Stabilization and safety are foundational principles of trauma treatment. This workshop will draw on the wisdom and tools of the masters in the field to provide a coherent “roadmap and rules of the road” for therapists working with clients who have survived trauma. Dr. Gold-Steinberg will guide clinicians to prioritize treatment goals and to establish therapeutic boundaries that protect client and therapist alike.

She also will support therapists in teaching their clients skills for enhancing safety (including from self-harm) and strategies for affective regulation. The presentation also will outline the framework of the structural dissociation model to manage competing or conflicting parts of self, and the key steps to any intervention for memory reconsolidation. Dr. Gold-Steinberg uses the metaphor of preparing for a long car journey to clarify and integrate the interventions that will help clinicians to navigate the stages of stabilization, memory processing, and meaning-making.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

  • Differentiate the clinical presentations of PTSD, relational trauma, and CPTSD.

  • Apply criteria for working at each of 3 phases of a trauma treatment plan.

  • Describe 2 strategies each for regulating client states of hyperarousal and hypoarousal.

  • Implement the 3 steps of a flashback halting protocol. 

  • Describe how to use a strength-based approach in responding to self-harming or maladaptive behaviors of clients.

  • Elucidate the goal of the structural dissociation model, according to Janina Fisher, as being to enhance the teamwork of parts of self along with the development of an internalized secure attachment. 

  • Identify the key steps for memory reconsolidation.
