When the Therapist Gets Triggered

Speaker: Avis Cole Attaway, LMFT

We will learn how to apply the Comprehensive Resource Model (CRM) with ourselves and our clients. The model’s influences and antecedents include Brainspotting, EMDR, ego state therapy, hypnosis, somatic experiencing and mindfulness. 

Pre-registration is required.

CRM is a novel approach that combines the elements of many psychotherapies to promote a natural healing through the body.
