Blue Knot Foundation
This training focuses on dissociation and considers dissociation as a continuum, explores dissociation in everyday life and expands on this to explore complex trauma-related dissociation. Dissociation can be subtle and hard to detect. It is often be overlooked in treatment for this reason and also because it is understood solely as Dissociative Identity Disorder which sits at one end of the continuum. This training program provides key information and strategies to support the identification of dissociation and working with people experiencing dissociation in therapeutic settings.
By participating in this professional development training, attendees will:
- learn more about the concept of dissociation and understand the continuum of dissociative experiences
- understand complex trauma-related dissociation and its impacts on the mind and body
- explore structural dissociation and organisation of the personality
- discuss how to attune to the possibility of dissociation in a therapeutic setting.
Who should attend?
This training is designed for practitioners with a higher level of complex trauma knowledge and clinical skills, and who work in a counselling/therapy role with complex trauma clients, and utilise clinical assessment, case formulation and treatment/care planning in their daily practice. Psychologists, clinical psychologists, counsellors, psychotherapists, psychiatrists and social workers in a counselling role, will find this training appropriate.
