PTSD: From post-traumatic stress to post-traumatic growth (2025.05.07 via Zoom)

Dates	May 7, 2025
Location	Online
Organizer	CBT Canada
Topics	Medical Sciences Psychology
We'll begin with a review of debriefing (i.e., interventions designed to prevent PTSD after a trauma), including insights from head instructor, Greg Dubord, MD, and his work with the Canadian government's National Roundtable in Ottawa. We'll then review a shortcut to the diagnosis of PTSD, proceeding from there to the details of (and controversies pertaining to) the fuller diagnostic criteria. The core of the workshop is treatment interventions for the four major criteria. Special topics include the curious case of EMDR, “emotional baggage” (i.e., old traumata), the eye-opening forgiveness research, so-called "hindsight bias", the Oprah-esque "imaginal rescripting", the Faustian bargain of children who survived ACEs (adverse childhood experiences), and what data we have on medical marijuana. We end with the uplifting literature on post-traumatic growth.
