Personality Disorders & Trauma: The Connection and the Treatment
Live Video Webcast
When: Monday, December 13, 2010
Attend this seminar and learn an approach to treating personality disorder diagnosed clients based on new insights in the fields of traumatology and neuroscience, including the importance of brain-to-brain attunement and limbic resonance. You will have a new understanding of the etiology of personality disorders.
Take home a comprehensive approach for safely managing and decreasing frightening symptoms, including violence, self-injury, suicidality and the emotional meltdowns of some of your most challenging clients.
