Transforming Traumatic Experience

Through the Process of Psychodynamic Psychotherapy

 

Five-session seminar, October 5, 2018 – April 5, 2019

Time: 3:00-5:00 p.m

Location: 1629 K St, NW, Suite #300, Washington DC 20006

 

 Traumatic experiences can affect all areas of the personality including; sense of self, emotional regulation, bodily functioning, dreams/nightmares, cognitive thinking, perception, etc. Psychodynamic psychotherapy addresses these effects using a variety of techniques that bring about therapeutic change and healing to individuals, families and cultural groups suffering from traumatic experiences.

The Trauma Series which is in its fourth year uses a seminar format to provide a supportive, non-judgmental, interactive process where professionals who work with traumatized populations can further develop their empathic understanding and technical skills for working with those affected by event, social/cultural and developmental trauma.

The program is open to those individuals who have been with us for the last three years and those who will be joining for the first time this year.
