This six week series will be taught by Dr. Michelle Harwell. Join us as we trace the origins of trauma and dissociation and its ever-evolving relationship with psychoanalysis. Starting with Freud and Janet, we will track the conversation of traumatology, dissociation and psychoanalysis through various clinical and cultural milieu, asking the question: what do each of these perspectives have to offer us now? We will journey into the felt experience of dissociation from both sides of the clinical room: patient and therapist as we seek to sharpen our attunement and sturdiness when working in these grey and unformulated spaces.

What's included: Light snacks, lunch provided on last session, 9 CES
Previous in-person attendees will get a $25 discount
