Transforming Trauma: Learning from the Past, Embodying the Present & Creating a Healthy Future (2022 Arizona Regional Conference)

Scottsdale, AZ US
October 7, 2022 to October 8, 2022

NEW! The option to participate virtually in this conference has now been added. CE credits are only available to virtual participants who attend this event live via our online platform.

ISSTD is monitoring local, state and federal regulations regarding masking, vaccinations, and testing. We will provide final details of our COVID-19 policy approximately two weeks before the conference. ISSTD may require participants to wear face masks and provide proof of vaccines and/or negative test. We ask that everyone be respectful of the different beliefs of each person regarding these mitigation strategies and understand that each person has a different level of comfort at this time. Our primary goal is to keep everyone attending safe and healthy.

Participants will learn how to identify symptoms of posttraumatic stress and differentiate between manifestations of PTSD and dissociation. The presenters discuss how to work with challenging clients, particularly those who do not respond quickly to common interventions. Rooted in recent neuroscience and phase oriented treatment, Lynette and Lisa will outline foundational strategies for identifying and treating complex trauma and dissociation. Participants will have the opportunity to practice somatic grounding skills to facilitate coregulation and interrupt patterns of improve nervous system regulation and reduce intrusive thoughts & experiences. This training focuses on practical applications based on real life clinical experiences responding to the most challenging clinical moments, and includes an afternoon consultation clinic with Lynette and Lisa, who combined bring over 50 years of clinical experience supporting the most traumatized populations in the US and abroad. Participants will walk away with a deep understanding of what trauma is and how it impacts us, skills to cultivate embodied presence in sessions, and a roadmap for how we can reduce harm, cultivate healing, and pave a healthier path forward for both clients and communities.
