Come join Mary Jo Barrett, MSW, the founder and director of the Center for Contextual Change, for a weekend workshop!

After 25 years of long term follow up interviews, we have discovered the essential ingredients of all effective trauma treatment. Our clients are not cookies and so it is clear that not one approach is the solution to the myriad of both vulnerabilities and resources that our clients possess. Change is a natural process that exists organically in nature. Believe it or not, effective treatment for trauma follows these same phases of change.

What clients tell us is that through all the different types of therapy they experience- the missing piece is the work with their partners, families/significant relationships they are in presently, and/or their family of origin. Humans are relational beings- why aren’t the relationships considered as part of the healing process? Why isn’t family/relational treatment considered one the quintessential models for complex developmental trauma?
?
This workshop will present a practical, three-tiered, strength-based contextual model, which simplifies the understanding and treatment of intergenerational trauma and neglect. We will explore the repetitive cycles of trauma and will learn how to harness the natural cycles of change when working with couples and families.The Collaborative Change Model (CCM) is a meta framework that can be applied to all treatment models, it is taking the natural cycle of change and making it conscious and present in the room. The meta framework allows the therapist and clients to collaborate and create change together. We will learn a relational blueprint for trauma work.
