Complex-PTSD:
Perspective of a Clinician with Lived Experience (expanded)
27 June 2024, 6:00pm - 9:00pm AEST
The aim of this interactive webinar, based on research and the facilitator’s clinical and personal experience of recovery, is to unpack and differentiate the relational trauma of Complex-PTSD from single-event trauma (i.e. PTSD) and help clinicians to understand its unique aetiology, manifestations and appropriate treatment so that their clients’ recovery is supported.
Areas covered include:
- Importance of appropriate diagnosis and psycho-education
- Dysfunctional family of origin roles (including parentification and its impact)
- Co-dependent and counter-dependent adaptations to childhood trauma
- The perils of spiritual by-pass: taking the wrong turn on the road of recovery
- Complex-PTSD v Borderline Personality Disorder: similarities and differences
- Important traits and symptoms not commonly associated with Complex-PTSD
- Treatment modalities suited for different stages of the recovery process
- Working with Complex-PTSD in short-term treatment
- Importance of anger in treatment and recovery
- Distinguishing trauma-informed care from client fragilisation
- Important non-clinical supports
- Overview of the presenter’s experience of wounding, recovery and clinical work as a Complex-PTSD survivor & wounded healer
