The fallout of complex trauma can lead to many challenges in living, including emotional, behavioral, and interpersonal difficulties. Other difficulties that often arise for complex trauma survivors may interfere with recovery. Substance use, self-harm, and emotional dysregulation can hinder treatment progress and lead to challenges in therapeutic progress. These challenges can hinder alliance development and experience of safety. Helping those who have experienced longstanding and multiple forms of trauma requires a comprehensive, compassionate, and transdiagnostic approach and strong therapeutic or relational alliance. Due to its principle-based nature as well as its compassionate approach, acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) is well-suited to the treatment of complex trauma. This one-hour webinar will briefly review complex trauma and the importance of the alliance in treating those who suffer from longstanding trauma experiences from an ACT perspective. Clinicians will better understand how to enhance the relationship in the service of recovery from complex trauma.

PraxisCET is proud to help support this work. Proceeds from this presentation will go directly to Bay Area Trauma Recovery Clinical Services, providing vital funding for the services they provide, treating trauma survivors from all walks of life, and providing low-fee services.

This training is worth 1 CE credit hours if attended live. While we can only provide CE to those who are present – i.e. logged in – for live presentation(s), all Praxis webinars are recorded for later viewing. Registrants may then access these recordings at any time for up to nine months from the conclusion of the training to which they pertain.
