Integrating Mind Body Awareness in the Treatment of Trauma and Addiction with Jenifer Talley PhD

 The need to provide integrative treatments for individuals who suffer from a history of trauma and co-occurring substance use issues will be the focus of this workshop.  We will provide an introduction to the clinical features of both post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and substance use disorders, which also includes behavioral addictions such as binge eating and other risky behaviors.  Then,  we will discuss the importance of providing 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.
