  • Learn the difference between survival adaptations vs. true developmental injury
  • Identifying developmental wounds that shape your client’s clinical presentation
  • Improve diagnostic clarity to guide effective treatment planning
  • Targeting core developmental needs rather than surface level symptoms

 

So your clients come with what looks like ADHD, BPD, treatment resistant depression but none of the diagnoses fully explain what you’re seeing in the room.

That’s because developmental trauma is at play.

And early developmental trauma is different from trauma later in life. So if you don’t know the difference, you not only won’t know how to treat it.

You are risking harming your clients

That’s why we created this quick training with Antonieta Contreras, LCSW R, BCN and author of How Deep Is the Wound created this hands-on training!

So busy clinicians like you can get a clear developmental trauma framework to allow you to read the presentation, intervene at the right level, and avoid reinforcing the original injury.

Register today and walk away with:

  • Assessment tools to separate survival adaptations from true developmental injury
  • Clinical skills to spot developmental wounds shaping adult presentation
  • Sharper discernment skills to avoid misdiagnosis to create the right treatment
  • Practical interventions targeting developmental need – not just symptoms

Cut the guesswork – and learn how to choose the right treatment from the start.

Register today!
