Each morning and afternoon will include didactic material on therapy principles and processes, videotaped examples illustrating key therapy processes, and supervised peer-skills practice. Practice will focus on interventions used over the Early, Middle, and Late Phases of therapy. Emphasis will be placed on assessment of emotional processing difficulties, case conceptualization, implementing the empty chair procedure to help clients confront perpetrators of abuse and neglect, use of an alternative evocative empathy procedure for clients who decline chair work, as well as procedures for re-experiencing trauma, reducing experiential avoidance and shame, accessing self-soothing capacities, and healing relational trauma.
