The Dissociation Adaptation: From Theory to Clinical Application
Jan 23rd online from 12-2 EST
Registration link ~ https://engagedminds-continuing-education.ce-go.com/the-dissociation-adaptation-from-theory-to-clinical-application
Navigating the complexities of dissociation is a critical skill for any trauma-informed practitioner. This workshop reframes dissociation not as a pathology, but as a creative and adaptive survival mechanism—one that disrupts the normal integration of consciousness, identity, and memory in response to overwhelming stress.
Participants will explore the neurobiological foundations of dissociation, including the roles of the dorsal vagal system, hippocampus, and thalamus, and learn to recognize the spectrum of dissociative presentations such as depersonalization, fragmentation, and emotional numbing.
Through a blend of theory, case examples, and experiential practice, this training provides a practical framework for assessing dissociative states and applying evidence-informed interventions. Attendees will leave with an expanded toolkit—including somatic regulation techniques, mindfulness-based grounding skills, and advanced parts work applications—to help clients safely move from dissociation toward reconnection and integration.
Recording:
This class will be recorded and made available within 2 hours after the live lecture. Recordings are available for 90 days after the class.
