Complex Trauma and The Nervous System

Service Description

The purpose of this presentation is to educate mental health practitioners about what complex trauma is, how it differs from single episode trauma, and how it affects the brain and relationships. Attendees will learn about dissociation, spectrum of dissociation, and how to manage dissociation symptoms with their clients. Attendees will learn about the Window of Tolerance and how to discuss with clients in order to describe their arousal state. Practitioners will receive training and psycho-educational material for clients to describe arousal states and how to identify which arousal state the client is experiencing. Through experiential exercises they will learn how to safely guide clients through grounding exercises and guided imagery to manage dissociation and other trauma symptoms.
