Understanding and Working with Complex Trauma and Complex PTSD

We are delighted to have secured Christiane Sanderson to deliver her highly relevant and informative workshop to those working, or involved with this challenging and complex issue.

​This one day workshop will explore the range of trauma experiences and distinguish between the current conceptualisation of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), subtype PTSD with prominent dissociative symptoms and complex PTSD and the clinical challenges inherent in assessment including misdiagnosis and co-morbidity.

Emphasis will be placed on the role of dissociation in complex trauma and how this gives rise to a number of dissociative disorders and somatic symptom related disorders. In addition, it will examine the nature of shame and traumatic bonding and how the trauma bond impacts on the developing sense of self and relational worth. The focus will be on understanding the nature and dynamics of complex trauma and how this impacts on the individual. The challenges of assessing for complex trauma will be highlighted alongside how to develop a collaborative case formulation.
