The Trauma Therapist Institute is now enrolling participants for a live virtual training designed for clinicians working with complex trauma and dissociative presentations. Led by internationally recognized trauma educator and clinician Jamie Marich, Ph.D., LPCC-S, REAT, this course addresses how to ethically, safely, and competently respond when dissociation emerges in treatment.

Why it matters

While dissociation is common in trauma work, many clinicians receive minimal formal training on how to assess and adapt treatment when clients experience parts, time loss, or disconnection. This training aims to provide therapists with a grounded, research-informed framework for working with dissociation without fear, avoidance, or rigid protocols.

The details

The training, titled "Clinical Competencies in Treating Dissociative Identities: Bridging Lived Experience and Science for the Trauma Therapist," will take place on Thursday, March 19, 2026 and provide 4 CE credits. Participants will learn to develop confidence in assessing and conceptualizing dissociation, adapt trauma models without abandoning fidelity, and integrate lived client experience with scientific understanding.

  • The live virtual training will take place on Thursday, March 19, 2026.
