What if some of the clinical presentations we misunderstand most are actually adaptive responses to trauma?

Many clinicians receive limited formal training on dissociation, plurality, and Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID), despite encountering clients whose experiences may be shaped by complex trauma. Demystifying Dissociation & Recognizing Plurality offers an opportunity to deepen your understanding of dissociative presentations through research-informed learning, case examples, and clinical discussion.

Join us for this engaging professional development workshop and strengthen your capacity to recognize, conceptualize, and respond to dissociative experiences with greater confidence and clinical competence.
