Abstract: Trauma therapists must make clinical judgments about what order to target memories for treatment. Study 1, of 146 self-identified trauma therapists, found a variety of reported strategies for deciding which trauma memory to treat first, including letting the client choose, treating the memory that caused the symptoms, or working in chronological order. Study 2a, of 159 therapists in eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) or progressive counting workshops, examined the impact on the distress level of a later memory after treating an earlier related memory. Study 2b, of 114 therapists in EMDR or progressive counting workshops, examined the impact on the distress level of an earlier memory after treating a later related memory. In each condition, the distress of the untreated memory was reduced; the effect was greater when treating the earlier memory. In study 3, 3 therapy clients rated the distress level of each trauma memory at the beginning of each session, as the trauma memories were being resolved in chronological order. The distress level of many (but not all) later memories did go down following the resolution of earlier memories, and this effect persisted over time. These findings suggest that treating trauma memories can reduce the distress level of related memories, with a greater effect when treating earlier memories. https://go.ticti.org/treating-early-trauma-memories-facebook

Online Trauma Trainers Retreat
Starts May 17

We are pleased to offer our 15th annual retreat for senior trauma-oriented clinicians who wish to develop their skills/repertoire as supervisors, consultants, workshop leaders, and instructors.

Purpose: The goal is to develop and support a growing group of individuals who can offer effective supervision, consultation, and basic and advanced training programs in trauma-informed treatment. Hopefully this will lead to more widely available quality training and practice in this specialty area.

Curriculum: All aspects of trauma treatment training/consultation will be covered, including:

✅ Repertoire of concepts and skills to be taught.
✅ Teaching methods for specific concepts and skills.
✅ Materials, slides and handouts for use in workshops.
✅ Presentation skills and strategies.
✅ Consultation and mentorship.
✅ Business practices and strategies.

Information, Registration, and Application: https://go.ticti.org/ttr-facebook

Note: The primary focus of this retreat is not to teach clinical skills. It is designed to prepare those with the skills to teach and supervise others. The overall goal is for participants to be able to offer effective specialty training programs on trauma treatment.

EMDR is arguably the leading trauma therapy, but many therapists who obtain EMDR training don’t end up using it much. Here is some guidance on how to discern which of the EMDR training programs are most likely to work out.

Online Flash Technique Training

March 18, 9-12:15 or 1-4:15 EST
$90

Join Ricky Greenwald, PsyD, for Flash Technique Training
This is a hands-on clinical skills training featuring the Flash technique, a brief intervention to reduce memory-related distress. Flash is a recently developed therapy procedure that involves having the client resolve a traumatic memory without consciously engaging it. Preliminary research has found Flash to be non-distressing, safe, rapid, and effective. In this workshop, participants will learn about Flash research and theory, view a demonstration, and participate in supervised small-group practice.

Participants will be able to:
✅Name and sequence the experiences the brain requires for memory reconsolidation (trauma healing).
✅Describe the state of the research on Flash.
✅Determine when Flash would be appropriate.
✅Provide Flash to therapy clients.
✅Problem-solve a Flash session when challenges arise.
