(WC - 059811 - BIROS - 2024) Abandonment Trauma: Treatment Strategies to Heal Inner Child Wounds and Restore Healthy

Course overview

Stuck in self-fulfilling cycles of mistrust, many clients expect abandonment and inadvertently create situations that reinforce those expectations. As therapists our role is to dive into the heart of those abandonment fears, and help them heal the traumatic childhood wounds impacting their adult lives and relationships. But for some clients "trusting" is a place where they've been hurt before, making deep therapeutic work difficult to get off the ground. Others can be too clingy, looking for you to meet their intense need for reassurance and connection. That's why expert Ellen Biros created this training -- to provide you a roadmap to navigate the complexities of abandonment trauma so you can offer your clients direction, hope, and the keys to healing. In just one day, she'll guide you through the practical and effective approaches you need to build trust with these clients, help them overcome their abandonment fears, and forge a path toward lasting healing and better relationships. With specific exercises from CBT and DBT you can use right away, you'll end this course ready to help your clients set healthy boundaries, reduce their exposure to toxic relationships, and reframe the negative thought patterns about self-worth and rejection that have been holding them back. This training is a valuable addition to any therapists' treatment toolkit.
