Resolving Sexual Trauma: Gentle and respectful strategies for rapid recovery for survivors of sexual violence and childhood abuse

Resolving Sexual Trauma: Gentle and respectful strategies for rapid recovery for survivors of sexual violence and childhood abuse

In recent years, the vast breadth and depth of the impact of trauma on mental and physical health has become well established. These empirical findings now beg the question: "What can be done about trauma?"

During this seven-hour workshop, mental health professionals and graduate students will learn how trauma or emotional memories are addressed directly and experientially using respectful, strengths-based language to impact the way people automatically think, feel and react.

Jon Connelly, Ph.D., developed Rapid Resolution Therapy during his 40-year career as a clinical social worker. He is a dynamic, engaging presenter with unwavering conviction and passion for eliminating guilt, shame, anger and other emotional memories that keep people stuck.
