The Swedish Society for ISTDP invites you to a presentation with Angela Cooper on the topic of complex PTSD. Angela Cooper will show a trial therapy session, using ISTDP with a case of complex PTSD and severe repression. She will discuss technical aspects of the graded approach with this case alongside her personal reflections and developments as a therapist.
The learning objectives are:
- Learn how to use a graded approach to effectively regulate anxiety and build emotional capacity
- Understand how to work with childhood trauma with a here and now focus
- Learn how to build a patient’s capacity for self-care and love to enable healthy guilt and emotional integration
