Explore the world of Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and delve deep into the complexities of working with clients that are stuck. Gain a profound understanding of the characteristics and nuances of Complex PTSD, including the higher levels of dissociation and the role of the nervous system in dissociative responses. Uncover the common sensory differences, such as hypo- and hyper-sensitivities, sensory-seeking versus sensory-avoidant behaviors, and the impact on various senses like balance, auditory, visual, body awareness, internal body sensations, smell, and digestion. These sensory differences are often seen in individuals with ADHD and Autism, who fall under the Neurodivergent population and contribute to symptoms of dissociation.
Discover invaluable insights into proven behavioral approaches that effectively support clients who feel trapped in their own emotional turmoil or experience numbness and shutdown. These challenges are frequently encountered in therapy sessions with individuals who are "stuck." In the third part of our live webinar series, unlock the key to success in stabilizing Complex PTSD by developing a profound understanding of the biology of the nervous system. Learn strategies and skills to stabilize individuals experiencing dissociation, with a focus on the role of the nervous system. Understand the challenges faced by these clients, including the hypo and hyper sensitivities, and tailor stabilization skills to suit their unique sensory profiles.
