Event Registration

This presentation explores how behaviors attached to trauma responses, substance abuse, or mood disorder symptoms can often elicit self-defeating internal attachments. Attendees will better understand what drives someone to behave in ways that are harmful to themselves, with an emphasis on chronic self-harm, suicidality, and OCD behaviors, from an emotions-focused, motivational perspective. The latest research on this area will be presented, as will case studies from the field. This 30-minute presentation will include a brief Q&A session. Please note: this is a complimentary non-CE event.

The webinar begins at 8:30AM PST.
