Description
Description: This panel brings together three seasoned trauma clinicians to compare how Ericksonian methods, somatic therapies and energy psychology can work together in complex cases. Through lively discussion and case examples, they explore assessment, ego states, polyvagal-informed regulation, EFT, reenactment patterns, and ways to titrate activation without overwhelm. Participants also hear candid guidance on treating military veterans, supporting frontline workers, and protecting themselves from secondary traumatic stress, with practical tools for grounding, boundaries and post-traumatic growth.
Syllabus Description: Post-traumatic stress disorder consists of a complex of symptoms including hyper arousal, social withdrawal and intrusions. The panelists will describe commonalities and differences in their approach to PTSD.
Educational Objectives:
- Difference between acute stress disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder.
- Describe three different approaches to working with PTSD.
- Given a patient with PTSD, outline a treatment program.
