The emphasis of this class is client-therapist co-regulation as both a self-care and a clinical skill that supports DMT's ability to support clients through their own post trauma restorative process without re-traumatization. Drawing from a contemplative human rights framework and Polyvagal Theory\, empowerment and developing a reciprocal alliance are themes of this course. This class also provides participants with a practical introduction and overview to using DMT in work with survivors of trauma\, as well as for therapists' own resilience and well-being. The course teaches DMT practices to support relative safety and stability in the reciprocal therapeutic relationship. A contemporary\, evidenced-based phasic approach to working with complex trauma provides the foundation for theoretical material. X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:
