AbstractSome people find themselves repeatedly involved in harmful relationships in which both abuse and maltreatment occur. Many of them struggle to walk away from the relationship, set boundaries, or protect themselves adequately. While in some cases victims are aware that the relationship is harmful, potentially dangerous, and must come to an end, in others, they are unable to assess the risks.
Beyond Attachment: A Collaborative Model of Relationship for Complex Developmental Trauma
  • Advanced
  • Conference
  • 1.50 ISSTD Certificate Program
$55.00
One of the more challenging problems of working with complex developmental trauma is how to effectively manage the therapeutic relationship. We are directed to help the client develop secure attachment; yet close relationship activates the insoluable dilemma of the client's history: needing to attach while feeling threatened.
Dissociation as Post-Traumatic Response

This presentation discusses the neurobiology of dissociation as a post-traumatic response and its relationship to autonomic nervous system (ANS) function, including the underlying physiological mechanisms and defense cascade in response to stressors. Animal models including fight, flight, freezing and tonic mobility, including the involvement of endogenous opioid activation in these states are explored.

AbstractThe racial justice protests of 2020 were an opportunity to unite people of all backgrounds. Instead, the denial of racism and other forms of misinformation were responses taken by some news outlets and members of the public. Similarly, within the clinical context, there are always opportunities to create significant changes in the lives of our clients. However, some therapeutic approaches do not make adequate considerations for race, gender, and other socially constructed identities.

Abstract(s) "Faking it:" Stigma as a Barrier to Accessing and Continuing Mental Health Treatment among People who DissociateOnly 28-48% of people with dissociative disorders receive mental health treatment despite a high need and desire for care. Individuals that do pursue treatment are often misdiagnosed, repeatedly hospitalized, and experience disbelief from providers about their trauma history and dissociative experiences. Stigma is believed to influence people's ability to access and continue mental health treatment.

Abstract
Attackment, Shame, and Dissociation
  • Advanced
  • Conference
  • Free to Members
  • 3.00 ISSTD Certificate Program
$59.00
Chronic shame, an experience of being without value, is often at the center of the aftermath of traumatic experience accompanied by active dissociative processes. Infant attachment strategies are generated in the face of fear and seek proximity to a caretaker. Such seeking is compromised when the attachment relationship is itself a source of terror, horror, or other physical or psychic pain.
EMDR Introject Decathexis Protocol: An Integrative Approach to Unbind Perpetrator Parts
