Description
Attachment-Trauma Specific Interventions for Families: Integrative Protocol (IATP-C)
This 8-hour presentation will give you practical interventions you can use immediately for traumatized children with severe behaviors such as lying, stealing, aggression, sexualized behaviors, and elimination problems. You will develop a common language of healing, interventions to regulate the mind and body and directly, yet gently, address trauma for the families in your practice. In the context of the family therapy work, you will be able to educate parents in Integrative Parenting methods that help integrate their child’s brain. By working with children and parents to identify children’s negative beliefs and triggers as well as touchstone trauma memories, you will be able to shift parents and children to view behaviors through the trauma lens and provide vital information to the EMDR therapist. You will be able to implement “Detective work” and the “domino method” to remove shame and create new insight for parents and children. Practitioners will create awareness and compassion for the inner child within the child and create a therapeutic story for healing. The family therapy component can be implemented as a solo therapist or as part of the IATP-C team for the most efficient resolution of symptoms and behaviors in traumatized children.

I learned about the IATP training when I was seeking help in working with a brother and sister who had severe attachment disorders due to being in a Ukrainian orphanage. I was referred to a Russian psychologist, who advised me that Deb Wesselmann was the best in this field, and I contacted her. She was very helpful in giving guidance, and she told me about the IATP training. After completing that, I had successful outcomes with both those children and my work has never been the same since.

I have taken the Family Therapy and the Desensitization courses. Both were very well done. The materials are solid. But most of all the skills I learned work.
