For the first time in history, mental health
organizations, agencies and providers are being
flooded with previously uncommonly seen clientele:
military women suffering with PTSD and/or MST
(military sexual trauma). Many of these clientele are
flocking to private practitioners due to the fact that their
experiences occurred within the military setting, and
often by fellow military personnel. On many occasions,
these women experience secondary trauma when
trying to press charges through their own chain of
command.
A majority of this population has complex PTSD, due to
unresolved childhood sexual, physical and / or
emotional abuse which further complicates treatment
efforts. As such, therapeutic approaches with this
clientele must be adjusted and adapted accordingly.
Self-healing modalities which are empowering and
efficient are most desirable and welcomed by this
population. This workshop will not only provide
instruction on such modalities but will also give
participants an opportunity to experience the healing
power of same and sharpen their own skills in dealing
with this challenging and contemporary clientele.
