About This Workshop

Treating the legacy of childhood trauma and neglect is not simple for even experienced clinician. The work is frequent complicated by dissociation-related challenges including shifting changes of consciousness, paradoxical responses to treatment, autonomic dysregulation and impulsivity, problems with memory and continuity, shame and self sabotage and crisis in the therapeutic alliance. This workshop offers a conceptual model for treating the effects of trauma and dissociation. Dr Fisher presents techniques to engage clients who are resistant, overwhelmed, impulsive, preoccupied with internal stimuli and unable to effectively process verbal input.
