Building a Life Worth Living: DBT for Survivors of Trauma

People raved about Dr. Reutter's talk on PTSD at our Fall Conference & many bought his books! Thus, we wanted to get him to train on his signature "DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) for PTSD" approach sooner rather than later. This 3-day training will be held virtually to allow for that (and to keep your cost down) on 2/6, 2/7 & 2/13. Join us!

Imagine if you had the skills to treat the most difficult of personality disorders. Imagine if you had the skills to tackle the worst symptoms of PTSD, Borderline, and complex trauma…combined! Imagine if you had the confidence to take on just about any client, symptom, or disorder that walked in your door.  

Well don’t imagine! After 3 days with Dr. Reutter, you will leave this seminar with concrete skills, techniques, and interventions that you can start applying to your own clinical practice—IMMEDIATELY!   

In this training, you will learn how to: 

·       Improve your therapeutic alliance even with the most difficult clients

·       Treat symptoms of PTSD, BPD, depression, anxiety, and many other disorders

·       Help your clients find the middle path between over-thinking and under-thinking

·       Help your clients find the middle path between over-feeling and under-feeling

·       Help your clients find the middle path between over-reacting and under-reacting

·       Help your clients manage difficult trauma-related thoughts, feelings, and triggers

·       Integrate DBT with brain science and other models to optimize trauma work
