In this 6 hour in person CEU workshop, therapists will learn about the internal system of dissociative parts that complex trauma survivors bring to treatment and how to work with them. Learn how parts are defined and created by trauma and how to forge complex and meaningful relationships with them in trauma treatment. Learn some interventions for doing effective and safe memory work.

Histories of trauma in one or both partners create layers of experience that are complex and nuanced. They require therapists to have a framework for understanding and facilitating work with both the spoken and the unspoken in the room.

Just as in trauma-informed individual therapy, in relationship work we privilege regulation in both the individual experiences in the room as well as in the relationship dynamic between partners. Using a phase oriented treatment, we hold a frame that helps folks find stability and increased safety in their relationships, in order to create lasting change.

Couples come to us entrenched in patterns that they have been deepening, for months and years - sometimes decades! In order to impact our clients’ cycles, we must work in the present to bring curiosity to and build capacity for shifting the ways in which folks both express their needs and longings, and respond to their partner’s needs and longing.

In our time together, we will use our understanding of the neurobiology of attachment and trauma to create a working framework for therapists working with couples. This workshop will include theory, experiential practice with intervention, and case study.

We aren’t afraid to talk about it - systemic trafficking and child abuse. We know it’s real - do you? Can you push past the strong urge to deny or overlook? Can you see how money and power can get away with almost anything, it seems?

Thank you to all who attended the 2nd Dissociation workshop last Friday. We are half way through the school. I’m so grateful that I get to teach about dissociation this year in person. There is a big difference! Thank you to the amazing Chicago therapists who care so deeply for the most injured clients on their caseloads. This city has some amazing clinicians. 🙏🏼💙❤️

Join me in a collective heaving sob for this city and all the people that ICE has stolen and all the people that could lose SNAP right as winter season comes. Fight and cry. Keep moving your bodies.

Healing is so many things. Getting the toxic shame, hate, and other energy transfers from abusers out of our souls and bodies will transform the shame and the pain. It was never yours to hold.

As children, this energy transfer is too big to process. Too big to fight. Too big to even see. We become adults who hate ourselves instead of hating the person who made us hold their pain. Healing teaches us different ways of handing it back and saying, Hell No! This isn’t mine to hold.

“Freeze responses can be some of the most misunderstood and overlooked states in therapy, especially when they show up subtly. In this experiential workshop, you’ll learn how to recognize the physical, emotional, and relational signs of freeze, and how to guide clients toward safe and sustainable mobilization, re-engagement, and reconnection.

Drawing from Somatic Experiencing® principles, we’ll explore concrete, trauma-responsive interventions that help clients release stored survival energy without overwhelm, restore a sense of flow, and expand their capacity for agency. You’ll walk away with immediately applicable tools, a deeper felt understanding of freeze, and more confidence supporting clients through these stuck states.“ - Meggie Twible, LCSW, SEP
