Course Overview:
Join us for an interactive discussion led by David Cato, LCSW, TCT, SEP, CCTP-II, Associate Clinical Director of Trauma Services at Sierra Tucson. This intermediate presentation will discuss the evolving therapies for Trauma. There are many modalities that can address various mental health and substance use disorders. Many of these modalities are somatic, or body-focused. Trauma is at the forefront of these issues and must be addressed as symptoms can be exacerbated otherwise. Join me in this presentation geared towards advanced therapists and moving away from traditional types of therapy that miss the mark on processing trauma that gets locked in the body.
