Interview with Patrick Poor
ACCESS A RECORDING OF THIS PRESENTATION
This presentation will provide a clinically oriented introduction to Trauma Conversion Therapy, theory and practice. We will discuss what are trauma disorders, how to recognize them, common ways people cope with them, and what is curative in treating them. We will have an experiential exercise in releasing old emotional pain, and we will call on the wisdom of Bessel van der Kolk, MD, and Colin Ross, MD. Dissociative disorders are not well understood or treated by most psychotherapists, yet they contribute to most DSM diagnoses. This will give you a tool to improve treatment outcomes. Resources for further learning will be provided.
