OPEN HOUSE LUNCHEON & CLINICAL PRESENTATION: FOR THOSE CONSIDERING POSTGRADUATE TRAINING: Wednesday, November 27, 2018 1:00 PM –2:30 PM WORKING WITH PROFOUND CHILDHOOD SEXUAL TRAUMA

The details of the therapy will demonstrate the experiential difficulties encountered over a five-year treatment and what was required from the therapist to help this woman begin to come to terms with her trauma. The profound complications of how non- empathic caregivers influenced her character development will be examined as well.

Participants will be able to recognize:
1. The enormous emotional toll on both patient and therapist in work with this level of trauma.
