What they say

This workshop taught me how to motivate, support and enable my PTSD clients to process traumatic experiences. I appreciated the great location, venue, food and organization of the workshop! Getting to hear the world leading expert in traume treatment, share a lifetime of research based experience about "what not to do, what to do & how to do it " - absolutely priceless!

Per Ingebrigtsen Psykolog

I learned a lot from this workshop: not to be afraid to try new stuff, to be more structured and coherent when doing treatment. And to be more specific; how to work with the SUD's-scale, how to phrase certain parts of the rationale and psychoed. In all; I feel more secure about what I already do, and also in what parts I want to progress in.

Linda Joloff Psykolog

I appreciated all the knowledge and facts given to us, combined with exercises and small movies of the patients. Very helpful. Well organised! I learned a structured method how to help and deal with people that suffer from PTSD. Step by step and very clear. What stands out for me is that this method has a lot of studies with evidence that it works for the majority. This gives a strength and security for the therapist towards the patient and the method.

THE AIM OF THIS WORKSHOP

The aim of the workshop is to teach the participants how to deliver prolonged exposure (PE) fro PTSD by following the manual “Prolonged Exposure therapy for PTSD: Emotional Processing Therapy”. (Foa, Hembree & Rothbaum, 2007, Oxford University Press).

During the morning of the first day, I will discuss the diagnosis and clinical picture of PTSD. I will then present a theoretical account that helps understand the factors that determined why some traumatized individuals recover and others develop chronic disorders.

Next, I will provide an overview of the efficacy of different cognitive behavioral programs that have been found helpful in ameliorating PTSD symptoms.

During the second half of the first day I will provide a detailed overview Prolonged Exposure therapy, and discuss in detail how to decide whether a given patient will benefit from PE.

In the next three days participants will learn each of the procedures that comprised prolonged exposure via description of each procedure, demonstrating how to conduct the procedure via videotapes of patients, and role play of the procedure.

These include: Overall rationale for PE, rationale for in vivo exposure, how to conduct in vivo exposure, rational for imaginal exposure, and how to conduct imaginal exposure.

Flexibility in following the manual and tailoring the treatment to the patient’s response to exposure will be emphasised.
