Do you want to feel more confident, competent, and effective in your therapeutic work with people? Do you want the satisfaction of seeing clients actually improve and experience permanent change, rather than simply providing temporary symptom relief?

Childhood trauma is the single greatest mental health crisis in America. The evidence is clear that adverse childhood experience is the main cause of violence, criminality, drug addiction, alcoholism, promiscuity, depression, anxiety, relational conflicts and other mental health concerns today. 

​​​​​​​Even so, few graduate programs provide specific training on working with trauma and its impact. The result is that often the indicators of traumatic experiences and their impact go overlooked, and subsequently treatment fails to address the real roots of the client’s presenting issues, providing no real lasting change.

​​​​​​​
In this SITT Training you will learn about:

  • The SITT Therapeutic Process.

    • A comprehensive framework for viewing and understanding the trauma recovery process.

    • A step-by-step roadmap through a proven nine-stage evidence-based recovery model.

    • How to assess client’s presenting needs, case conceptualization, and effective treatment planning.

    • How to identify and evaluate progress markers in your client’s recovery.

    • The therapeutic use of stories, metaphors, modalities, objects and resources that improve treatment effectiveness.

    • How to maximize the limited time you spend with clients and promote learning well beyond the therapeutic hour.

    • How to identify therapist issues which impact treatment including transference, countertransference, therapist history, process dilemmas, and treatment cautions.

    • How to reduce client emergencies, establish and maintain healthy therapeutic boundaries, model healthy living and practice good self-care.

  • The Full Impact of Trauma:

    • The features of PTSD and how clients express them in daily life and in the therapeutic process.

    • The common sequelae of complex trauma and key treatment issues critical to the recovery process with suggested interventions.

    • The impact of trauma on memory function and how to support clients in the telling of their stories and processing of their memories.

    • How to help clients with feeling identification, affect regulation, and the grieving process.

    • The motivations, thinking errors, and grooming process of sexual offenders.

    • The impact of childhood trauma on spiritual formation and development with suggested interventions.
