Working with Self Injury and Suicidality
in Complex Trauma and Dissociation
Intentional self-injury is a common problem in working with clients with complex trauma and dissociation.
Commencing in April 2021, this webinar series will explore how to understand self-injury compassionately, and what to do to help the client reduce and stop these behaviours that are used to regulate and reduce shame.
For one hour a week over three weeks, we will look at specific interventions will be addressed, including approaches for specific dissociative parts that are active in self-harm dynamics.
This webinar series will also discuss acute and chronic suicidality, from suicidal thoughts to plans, and how to address these in therapy from a trauma and dissociation informed perspective.
Management of the therapist’s countertransference will also be discussed, from avoidance to urgency.
