Tammie Grant started her second career as a Marriage and Family Therapist in her late 40s after a career in the Geosciences. Tammie’s earlier work took her to mapping deforestation in tropical landscapes and working with Indigenous tribes. It was here where she started her yearning for understanding how people made decisions around survival. In the US, while working with Tribal Reservation lands she saw addiction, domestic violence and a horrifying history of child welfare that repeated itself through the generations. Trauma was playing out everywhere. Mapping traumatized psyches subsequently became a deep interest. How do we help those so profoundly impacted by trauma? A parts approach offers valuable ways for understanding ourselves and the most fragile parts of us.
This course will help you understand how an early onset of trauma creates a fragmented personality of parts. Participants will see how behavioral issues and other difficulties common with foster kids are results of these fragmented parts of the personality and provide often a model conducive for working with challenging problems both for the foster kids and with the foster families.
This course is eligible for 1.5 continuing education credits.
This course is suitable for Psychologists, LMHCs, MFTs, Social Workers, LPCs, and Counselors.
