Forward-Facing Trauma Therapy: A Therapy for the 21st Century
Copyright :
What if there was a simple, efficient, and effective way to treat clients’ traumatic stress that didn’t involve them revisiting the painful memories of the past? Forward-Facing Trauma Therapy (FFTT) is a method of trauma treatment that combines components of CBT and brain science to teach clients a disciplined practice of self-regulation that enables them to navigate the high-demand situations of their lives with a symptom-free body, maximal cognitive and motor functioning, and intentional instead of reactive behavior. In this workshop, you’ll explore:
- The principles and process of traumagenesis—how painful past learning turns into unbearable symptoms in the present
- How to implement the skills of interoception and self-regulation as primary tools for professional resilience
- How to then teach these skills to your clients as primary treatment for all stress symptoms
- How to apply FFTT as a tool for restarting and enhancing adult development in a way that’s useful with all clients
