Patterned Dynamics: A Clinician's Guide to Paradigms of Domination or Dignity
You can’t support your client struggling on either side of issues of power and control with empathy, attachment work and generalized training alone.
If you haven’t been specifically trained in issues of power and control, those blind spots leave you and your clients stuck, frustrated, and at risk of pattens of harm continuing to get worse as they escalate along the continuum of violence.
Learn practical interventions that go beyond empathy to empower clients to own their agency and attend to their dynamics with more clarity and safety.
In this course, you will walk away with being able to:
Identify and assess patterns/cycles of coercion, control, and violence that often underpin why something was traumatic and what informs their style of relating
Use clear, concrete safety planning and risk management strategies tailored to each client and context
Apply accountability-centric intervention skills that reduce harm and prevent re-traumatization.
Be confident in your clinical understanding of Response-Ability Plans for both survivors and those who use power and control against them.
