Manipulated, deceived, and emotionally coerced – victims of pathological relationship abuse are often left questioning their reality.
For these clients, this traumatic cognitive dissonance is a significant barrier to healing. Their conflicting thoughts – one part of them knows they’re not to blame, but another part is entrenched in the abusive narrative they’ve internalized – keep them stuck.
It’s this dissonance that confuses their understanding of what happened and who they are now, making it even harder for them to move forward.
But working with the trauma of these relationships isn’t something they taught you in grad school.
Now in this training, you’ll watch expert Dr. Peter Salerno, author of the best-selling book The Nature and Nurture of Narcissism and his latest Traumatic Cognitive Dissonance: Healing from an Abusive Relationship with a Disordered Personality.
Peter Salerno will show you how cognitive dissonance keeps clients trapped in cycles of confusion, self-blame, and emotional pain – and how you can apply new perspectives, the latest findings, and a toolbox of dynamic treatment techniques form EDMR, CPT, and other approaches to help them break free.
With Dr. Salerno’s guidance, you’ll get a step-by-step plan to treat these clients so they can heal, rebuild their self-worth, and reconnect with their true selves.
Don’t miss this opportunity to transform your practice and provide your clients with the healing they’ve been desperately seeking.
