In late October 2017, the Center for the Treatment of Developmental Trauma Disorders (DTD) and NCTSN launched the Developmental Trauma Disorder Series entitled "Identifying Critical Moments and Healing Complex Trauma" with its first webinar: Helping an Angry Father Find Common Ground with His Son.
In each webinar in the series, viewers see actual therapists demonstrate how to handle some of the most difficult crises that occur in therapy with traumatized children and families (played by actors).
This series provides clinicians, counselors, and other helpers with insights on recognizing and dealing with the most difficult crises and turning points that occur in therapy with traumatized children and families. Each webinar features a scene where the youth and caregiver are actors playing fictional characters, but the therapists are real. Viewers will see how therapists handle critical turning points during the therapy session to help families safely heal from the severe emotional and interpersonal problems that occur in the aftermath of complex trauma.
