Kathy Steele presents SERIES 3:
Working with Self Injury and Suicidality in Complex Trauma and Dissociation
Intentional self-injury is a common problem in working with clients with complex trauma and dissociation. We will explore how to understand it compassionately, and what to do to help the client reduce and stop these behaviors that are used to regulate and reduce shame. Specific interventions will be addressed, including approaches for specific dissociative parts that are active in self-harm dynamics. We will discuss acute and chronic suicidality, from suicidal thoughts to plans, and how to address these in therapy from a trauma and dissociation informed perspective. Management of the therapist’s countertransference will also be discussed, from avoidance to urgency.
Recorded in April 2021, recordings will be will be available for viewing for 30 days.
