Event details
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) causes considerable distress and disability. Southampton University CBT Centre in this two day workshop will explore CBT techniques to aid recovery.
Although PTSD shows substantial natural recovery in the initial period after trauma exposure, at least a third of people who initially develop PTSD will still be symptomatic three years later. Trauma-focused CBT is one of the recommended treatments in the current NICE guidelines.
This two-day workshop will start by introducing trauma-focused CBT based on the Ehlers & Clark (2000) cognitive model of PTSD, which is one of the IAPT recommended models. The first day will cover assessment and treatment of Type I trauma (single incident trauma such as an assault or a road traffic accident). The second day will examine how to apply the model to more complex presentations of PTSD (Type II trauma).
Workshop participants will have a chance to practice key techniques such as imaginal reliving and will also have the opportunity to bring case material for discussion.
