Two Part Training Series Starts August
2013: PSI Seminars:
advanced training in Trauma TreatmentThis
2 part training teaches you to use PSI in your practise with clients who
dissociate mind from body. In Part 1 you will learn all the components of
PSITM
and Part 2 will help you master it via live and pre-recorded
demonstrations, role-plays, and case supervision.
What is
PSITM
(PsychoSomatic Integration)?
PSITM
is an overall evidence-based
treatment approach for working with complex trauma and dissociation, that
addresses the root causes of trauma-based presentations and fragmentation, and
so results in long term recovery. Highly effective psychological and somatic
techniques are woven into a carefully staged treatment approach, which
systemically integrates significant relationships into the treatment process.
PSI seeks to heal early experiences of abandonment, neglect, trauma, and
attachment loss, that otherwise tend to play out repetitively and cyclically
throughout the lifespan in relationship struggles. It is unique in that it
approaches the body first (bottom-up processing) but also works to reinstate
systems of meaning.
