This advanced-level course in Trauma-Focused ACT (TFACT) is intensely practical, with a strong emphasis on skills-development. TFACT is neither a protocol nor a treatment for one specific disorder, such as PTSD. It is a compassion-based, exposure-centered approach to doing ACT, which is:
(a) trauma-informed: drawing upon relevant fields, such as evolutionary science, polyvagal theory, attachment theory, and inhibitory learning theory;
(b) trauma-aware: attuned to the possible role of trauma in a wide range of clinical issues; and
(c) trauma-sensitive: alert to the risks of experiential work, especially mindfulness meditation.
In this course, you’ll discover a treasure-trove of simple but powerful tools, techniques and processes that you can immediately start using to enhance your work with the entire spectrum of trauma-related dysfunction - applicable to everything from major depression and BPD to PTSD and moral injury - and help your clients rapidly progress to post-traumatic growth.
