About the Event

Learning how to navigate clients’ emotional window of tolerance to support stabilization are key factors in responding to clients in acute distress. In this webinar, Dr. Fatter will review the impact of traumatic stress on the brain in tangible ways to help clinicians better conceptualize how trauma alters the body’s arousal system. Factors that support resilience will be reviewed. Dr. Fatter will discuss in detail symptoms of hyper-arousal, and hypo-arousal states of the autonomic nervous system. This will help clinicians know signs of what state clients are in and help clinicians be able to educate clients about their nervous system. Coping skills for hyper-arousal and hypo-arousal will be demonstrated to provide clinicians with practical tools to serve their clients. This webinar will also address adjunctive therapies to help support stabilization. There will be opportunities for participants to experience and practice some of these tools themselves. This presentation will be interactive and experiential. Clinicians at any stage of their career will benefit from this webinar.

Live Event This is a live online event. It will be conducted via Zoom Webinar.
