This practical workshop covers the unique challenges of working with complex trauma cases and gives you clear guidance on the most effective ways to help -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- * * Accredited CPD: 6 hours * Length: 1 day (9.30am - 4.00pm) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Absolutely jam-packed with techniques/information and resources.

A calm, confident and articulate trainer... > > J YAP, THERAPIST WHY TAKE THIS COURSE Clients suffering from Complex PTSD (C-PTSD) or who have experienced trauma in a shutdown or dissociative state, can present unique challenges to practitioners working with them – but with the right knowledge and skills we can help sufferers move forward in their lives. In this hands-on, experiential workshop you will learn more about what makes trauma ‘complex’, why shutdown or dissociation are often experienced by sufferers, and how to best work with such presentations using the Human Givens framework of understanding. You will also have the chance to collaborate with other experienced practitioners and clinicians during exercises designed to further your understanding, add to your existing skillsets, and bring wider context to an often-misunderstood area of work. During this intensive day of live, in-person training, experienced psychotherapist Ros Townsend will introduce you to a framework within which you can set your understanding of complex trauma presentations and discover the opportunities that we have to help clients move forward from their difficulties. You will learn more about the neurobiology of the automatic survival options that we have available to us, especially dissociative and ‘shutdown’ states, and leave with an understanding of how to use this knowledge to inform your work, giving you greater confidence to work creatively and flexibly with such presentations. From understanding the symptoms that are now recognised as distinguishing C-PTSD, to adapting existing HG techniques and strategies and introducing new tools and skills, this course will explore how we, as clinicians, can approach such complex presentations without getting lost in the complexity ourselves. Using case histories and discussion you will have the chance to understand more about the unique challenges that such work presents and to leave feeling more confident in your ability as a therapist to work effectively and contextually with these. > Such a thought-provoking and informative day.

If you are an experienced practitioner from another modality, we recommend you familiarise yourself a little with the HG approach before you attend, see: About HG therapy [https://www.humangivens.com/human-givens/human-givens-therapy/hg-approach-difference/], benefits of the approach [https://www.humangivens.com/college/about-the-college/benefits-of-human-givens-approach/], and what is RIGAAR [https://www.humangivens.com/2021/11/25/why-human-givens-practitioners-use-rigaar/]. WHO IS THIS COURSE SUITABLE FOR? * Any qualified therapist working with distressed or traumatised people. In order to take full benefit from the course, you will ideally have already taken our Guided Imagery and Visualisation for therapeutic change [https://www.humangivens.com/college/guided-imagery-and-visualisation-workshop/] and Rewind Technique [https://www.humangivens.com/college/rewind-technique-training-workshop/] workshops. NB If you are an experienced practitioner from another modality, we recommend you familiarise yourself a little with the HG approach before you attend, see: About HG therapy [https://www.humangivens.com/human-givens/human-givens-therapy/hg-approach-difference/], benefits of the approach [https://www.humangivens.com/college/about-the-college/benefits-of-human-givens-approach/], and what is RIGAAR [https://www.humangivens.com/2021/11/25/why-human-givens-practitioners-use-rigaar/]. * Any qualified practitioner in the field of psychiatry, psychology, psychotherapy or counselling can attend; again you would benefit most by having previously attended our Guided Imagery and Visualisation [https://www.humangivens.com/college/guided-imagery-and-visualisation-workshop/] and Rewind Technique [https://www.humangivens.com/college/rewind-technique-training-workshop/] workshops and familiarising yourself a little with the HG approach to therapy.
