About This Course

Mental health providers who work with anxiety, post-traumatic stress, non-epileptic seizures and other related conditions are likely also working with clients who struggle with dissociation to varying degrees.

This specialized training teaches clinicians how to work within the creative capacity of many clients who have relied on dissociation to cope with their history while simultaneously encouraging clinicians to employ their own capability for innovative work.

The workshop offers participants an experiential opportunity to learn about internal multiplicity as a normal human experience, and working creatively with dissociative disorders.


Course admission requirements:

Minimum of a Master's Degree in a mental health or related field; or be a student in social work, psychology, counseling, or a related field. In African countries, a minimum of a Bachelor's degree in social work, psychology, counseling, or a related field is required.
