Course Details

Working with Complex PTSD can be, well, complex. It requires a large toolkit to help clients learn ways to regulate and soothe, and to feel feelings and sensations. It also requires advanced skill on the clinician’s part to navigate treatment plans and desensitize targets in a way that doesn’t destabilize or overwhelm the client’s nervous system.

This advanced course will help you fill up your Complex PTSD toolkit. We’ll review Polyvagal Theory-inspired case conceptualization skills that will help you identify treatment goals and plan skillful interventions. We’ll also review a number of useful preparation tools that are commonly needed with Complex Trauma presentations. These will include resourcing scripts, somatic awareness interventions, mindfulness skills, and Polyvagal-informed techniques. Clinicians will learn a variety of skills for assessing and enhancing dual awareness, assessing for dissociation, and using Ego States with CPTSD. EMD and EMDR will also be taught, along with symptom-focused techniques for desensitization to support stabilization and enhanced coping. Participants will learn the method of Reflexive Orienting, a Rebecca Kase-inspired technique for working with highly charged and dysregulating targets.

Some experiential practice is included, however no group work
is incorporated into this course.

Praise

Love your trainings My nervous system feels safe and connected with you and your team. I learned so much.

Rebecca Kase is the best instructor I've ever had in EMDR trainings. She keeps the audience engaged and interested in a way I've never seen a trainer do.

Rebecca is clearly skilled as both a therapist and as an instructor. She is well versed in the material and provided a wonderful infusion of humor and experiential practice to what can become very dense and challenging subject matter. I walked away with several new tools to use with clients to promote somatic awareness and grounding as well as a refresher on some protocols that I have not used recently for a while. We covered so much good stuff in the two days! I would highly recommend this training to colleagues looking to expand their EMDR practice.
