Slaying the Dragon

PC & The Fairy Tale Model of Trauma Treatment

Slaying the Dragon: The Fairy Tale Model of Trauma Treatment

Advanced clinical skills for trauma-informed evaluation, treatment planning, and supervision/consultation. Introduction to progressive counting (PC).

6.5 CEs, 6 EMDRIA CEs

This workshop didn’t just define the problem, it gave ways to solve the problem.”

“I honestly believe your training was the best workshop I have ever experienced. I absolutely loved (and resonated with) your Fairy Tale Model… you helped pull so many things together in such a coherent (and inspiring) narrative.”

“Thank you for the concise, extremely accessible, and easily applied training that you provided… I was able to use it immediately with my clients.”

The Fairy Tale Model is a comprehensive phase model of trauma-informed treatment. This research-supported model serves as the foundation of our training programs, and is featured in Dr. Greenwald’s books: Child Trauma Handbook, EMDR Within a Phase Model of Trauma-Informed Treatment, Treating Problem Behaviors, Progressive Counting, Slaying the Dragon, and the comic book, A Fairy Tale. The Fairy Tale Model represents an adaptation of proven-effective methods to real-world situations, and provides a systematic guide to every step of treatment.

This 1-day workshop offers advanced clinical skills for trauma-informed evaluation, treatment planning/contracting, clinical supervision/consultation, and more. This is a hands-on clinical skills training for working with clients who have been exposed to significant trauma or loss. Participants should be mental health professionals (or grad students/interns) who provide and/or supervise psychotherapy.  Full documentation can be found here and the day’s agenda can be found here.

The program will cover:

  • Introduction to trauma and post-traumatic stress.
  • Trauma’s contribution to reactivity and symptoms/problem behaviors.
  • Analyzing presenting symptoms/problem behaviors from a trauma perspective.
  • Overview of trauma treatment and phases of treatment.
  • Trauma-informed case formulation – explaining it to the client/family.
  • Enhancing motivation and commitment to treatment goals.
  • Treatment planning and contracting.
  • Trauma resolution (including a brief experience with PC)
  • Applying the model to challenging cases
  • Using the model for supervision and case consultation

Participants will be able to:

  • Explain to clients how past trauma or loss can lead to ongoing problem behaviors or symptoms.
  • Develop a systematic and comprehensive trauma-informed treatment plan.
  • Problem-solve their own (or their supervisees’) challenging cases using the trauma-informed treatment perspective.
