Overview
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a condition that is often associated with poor long-term psychosocial outcomes. Fortunately, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) treatments have been developped to help clients recover and reclaim their lives. They have the potential to transform PTSD from a chronic condition into one that can show meaningful improvement within just a few months.
This practical, hands-on workshop is designed to equip participants with the essential skills to assess, conceptualize, and develop individualized treatment plans for clients presenting with PTSD.
Participants will be introduced to a range of CBT interventions:
- Address safety and stabilization concerns
- Manage distressing emotions and physical symptoms
- Identify and modify unhelpful beliefs
- Process traumatic memories
- Reduce avoidance of trauma-related stimuli
In addition, the workshop will cover the assessment and clinical management of common co-occurring conditions such as substance use disorders, depression, and suicidal ideation.
Dr Schwartzmann will guide you through each phase of treatment—from initial assessment to the implementation of relapse prevention strategies—so that you leave with the tools and confidence needed to reduce the impact of trauma in your clients’ lives.
