Clinical Training: Suicidality with Trauma & Dissociation

6 CE’s available. CLICK HERE TO REGISTER

This course addresses the intersection of trauma, dissociation, suicidality, and self-harming behaviors. It critically examines the limitations of traditional suicide prevention methods (such as no-harm contracts), and instead promotes trauma-informed, relational, and ethical frameworks for working with high-risk clients. Using theories like infanticidal attachment, Joiner’s interpersonal theory of suicide, and dissociative fragmentation models, the course offers advanced strategies for clinical engagement, attunement, and safety planning. Designed for clinicians, it emphasizes cultural humility, parts work, and nervous system regulation in the therapeutic process.

Clinical Training: High Demand / High Control Religious Trauma
Dec

Clinical Training: High Demand / High Control Religious Trauma

6 CE’s available. CLICK HERE TO REGISTER

Religious Trauma Syndrome (RTS) is a complex and often misunderstood form of psychological injury stemming from high-control religious environments, spiritual abuse, and coercive faith-based systems. This advanced training provides social workers with a comprehensive framework for understanding and addressing RTS through the lenses of trauma theory, dissociation, moral injury, and attachment. Participants will explore assessment models such as the BITE Model and Bonewits’ Cult Danger Scale, examine ethical considerations related to belief deconstruction and spiritual agency, and learn evidence-informed treatment strategies grounded in polyvagal theory, ego-state work, and narrative repair. Special emphasis will be placed on working with marginalized populations, recognizing spiritual coercion as a form of complex trauma, and fostering post-traumatic growth within a liberation framework.
