The Child State Unbound: Mindful Healing of the Past Through Present Connection

Jun. 14, 2025

10:00 AM - 1:15 PM (EST)

Virtual Event
3 CE Credits
Certifications in trauma treatment are often costly and overwhelming. This program is designed to change that. Our goal is to empower clinicians with accessible, therapist-friendly interventions that directly target the emotional components of traumatic memories—making them malleable, modifiable, and ultimately neutralized. Without the need for complex protocols, participants will gain practical tools they can integrate immediately into their work with clients.
Re-experiencing distressing events is the bedrock of psychotherapy. Whether a memory is a recollection from the night before or a fragment from fifty years ago, the incident can be brought into the present and serve as the opening act for long-awaited change.  A demonstration with a volunteer will show how to bring past trials into the present before executing interventions that turn ordeals into neutral facts. Socratic discussion will explore how to transport witness recall interviews into the therapy setting for the purpose of priming memories for such change agents as compassion, self-expression, agency, disconfirming knowledge, and insight.  Participants can observe or engage in partner exercises to practice memory-enhancing methods and then deactivate distress with transformative techniques. Neuroscience findings will be reviewed, suggesting that early events’ emotional elements can be erased (not just suppressed). 

This live interactive webinar is designed for behavioral health professionals, including:

  • Counselors
  • Social Workers
  • Psychotherapists
  • Marriage & Family Therapists
  • Psychologists
  • Substance Use Disorders Counselors
  • Case Managers
  • Physicians
  • Other Mental Health Professionals
