Finding Solid Ground

Highly dissociative, traumatized patients often present with an overwhelming array of severe clinical problems and frequent crises. Bethany Brand will discuss the evidence-informed approach that she, Ruth Lanius, and Hygge Schielke have developed called Finding Solid Ground.

This program guides individuals with trauma-related dissociation to develop skills that are linked with decreased symptoms, reduced self-harm, improved emotion regulation, and increased self-compassion. Bethany will provide an overview of the journaling and practice exercises used in the Finding Solid Ground program.

The training will feature role plays depicting common yet very challenging clinical scenarios that occur when working with complex trauma clients such as when clients are unwilling to “give up” self-injurious behaviours. Bethany will describe pragmatic techniques for managing dissociative patients’ reliance on dissociation and self-injurious behaviours so that attendees can leave with pragmatic ideas about helping their patients “find solid ground”.
