A One Day Workshop with Kristin Osborn
Working with a traumatized client can be very challenging. Dissociation and flashbacks can seem unsurpassable and undermine our sense of competence and confidence as a therapist. In this workshop we will address your own anxieties, defenses and emotions that hold you back from being confident and feeling competent in the face of trauma. You will learn how APT can help your patient relinquish their defenses and break through to their emotions and heal from trauma.
