TRAINING OBJECTIVES
You will learn tools to address client experiences related to medical mismanagement, invasive medical procedures, or the lack of control that commonly arises with chronic pain and illness. Treating somatic disorders and illness can be challenging; especially when the etymology lies in complex, developmental trauma.

Recount the distinction between stress, chronic stress, and unresolved PTSD in the different ways that they impact health.

Describe the polyvagal theory as related to trauma recovery

Learn how to assess for dissociation and identify client’s parts or ego states as related to pain and illness

Learn resource development installation to help clients develop greater control over pain and illness symptoms

Recognize that a high level of adverse childhood experiences contributes to greater health risks in adulthood.

Discuss how research has shown the relationship between cortisol levels and the immune system in clients with chronic PTSD.

Discuss how somatic symptoms including illnesses and chronic pain can be used as potential targets in EMDR Therapy.

Recall that when targeting a body sensation, you can use a floatback/affect bridge or not use a floatback/affect bridge in the assessment phase for chronic pain

Apply at least two types of self-care techniques to help clients with chronic pain learn to regulate and manage their pain.
