OVERVIEW
PTSD: From post-traumatic stress to post-traumatic growth is organized by Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) Canada and will be held on May 07, 2025.
Workshop Overview:
PTSD has a lifetime prevalence rate of over 10% in women and 5% in men, making it a tragically common condition. Fortunately, the DSM-5 "holy book" made it easier to diagnose PTSD, and recent research has provided us with much simpler and more effective treatments.
This very popular workshop begins with a review of psychological debriefing (i.e., interventions designed to prevent PTSD after a trauma), including insights from Dr. Dubord's work with the Canadian government's National Roundtable in Ottawa.
We then review a shortcut to the DSM-5-TR diagnosis of PTSD, followed by the details of (and controversies pertaining to) the fuller diagnostic criteria.
The core of the workshop - training in treatment - emphasizes those tools realistic for use in primary care. As always, the assumption is a ten-minute appointment (with three fully dilated patients in the waiting room).
Special topics include the curious case of EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), dealing with “emotional baggage” (i.e., old traumata), the formidable forgiveness research, so-called "hindsight bias", the Oprah-esque "imaginal rescripting", the Faustian bargain of ACE (adverse childhood experience) survivors, complex PTSD (C-PTSD), intergenerational trauma, trauma-informed care, and what data we have on medical marijuana.
The workshop ends with an extensive and uplifting topic: the emerging and exceedingly hopeful literature on post-traumatic growth.
"If you're going through hell, keep going." - Sir Winston Churchill

1. Learn how to rapidly and confidently diagnose PTSD
2. Practice targeted interventions for each of PTSD's key diagnostic criteria
