Integrating Mind-Body Awareness in the Treatment of Trauma and Addiction
The need to provide integrative treatments for individuals who suffer from a history of trauma and co-occuring addiction issues is going to be the focus of this workshop. We will begin the discussion with an introduction to the clinical features of both post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and substance abuse disorders and then we will discuss the utility of providing clients with an integrated treatment approach that also addresses the physical and emotional implications of PTSD and addictions.
This workshop will combine aspects of cognitive-behavioral and dialectical behavior, along with elements of sensorimotor psychotherapy to demonstrate how to work effectively with clients with a complex clinical presentation. Specific emphasis will be on the clinical utility of mindfulness-based strategies to help clients manage PTSD symptoms and learn how to modulate emotions and cravings to use.
