This 90 minute workshop is an intermediate level training that assumes participants know basic information about trauma and trauma reduction strategies. The trainer will teach participants the steps of using a tool that assists individuals of any age struggling with attachment and other trauma issues. This tool was developed by the presenter for the treatment of traumatized families at the trauma center she founded in central Pennsylvania. The numerous trauma reduction strategies (IFS; EMDR; Narrative Therapy; Art therapy; etc.) that can be used in this tool will be identified and then the implementation of the tool will be described. A sample method of documenting this tool in sessions over time will be shared as well as video clips of the tool being used in family therapy sessions. Participants will also be given the written directions of the process of the tool.
