Description

Advanced Integrative Therapy Basics Seminar is a 3 day workshop to learn the theory and application of a novel trauma treatment modality that is comparable to EMDR and Emotional Freedom Techniques (AKA Tapping). Attendees will learn to discern earlier traumatic events or patterns that created the ways of thinking, behaving, and relating with others that are causing their clients' suffering in present day. AIT utilizes subtle somatic cueing to make sure that trauma treatment is gentle, thorough, and lasting. There will be multiple practicum portions for students to practice the intervention on one another, and to conceptualize cases using the AIT framework. Students will be able to apply AIT Basic protocols immediately after taking AIT Basics.

Learning Objectives

Participants will be able to:

  • Recall psychoeducation on Advanced Integrative Therapy’s theory of Trauma.

  • Compare AIT’s Theory of trauma to psychodynamic, energy psychology, and transpersonal psychology.

  • Recall psychoeducation on the psychodynamic structure of the human being, including how unconscious traumatic patterns can be repeated in present day.

  • Deduce Originating Trauma (OTs) and Initiating Trauma (ITs) Statements for application and treatment with clients.

  • Create Originating Trauma (OTs) and Initiating Trauma (ITs) Statements with clients.

  • Receive psychoeducation on applied kinesiology manual muscle testing (kMMT), also known as subtle somatic cueing.

  • Utilize muscle testing (kMMT or somatic cueing) with clients.

  • Recall AIT’s Trauma protocol.

  • Apply the somatic aspect of AIT: client hand placement at midline energy centers (nerve ganglia) in the body from crown to base of tailbone.

  • Explain the AIT method of case analysis: the “AIT Roadmap”

  • Summarize the formation of dysfunctional core beliefs as an after effect of traumatic events in early life.

  • Apply the AIT Core Belief Protocol to treat blocking beliefs that impede positive client outcomes in therapy.

  • Demonstrate competency in utilizing the AIT Trauma Protocol

  • Demonstrate competency in creating Connecting Trauma (CT) statements to break unconscious traumatic patterns for thorough trauma treatment

  • Demonstrate competency in utilizing AIT’s 3 Step Transformation.

Presenters

Elizabeth Pace, MEd, LPC-S
Elizabeth Pace is a trauma therapist and educator in private practice in New Orleans, Louisiana who specializes in cultural historical and intergenerational trauma effects in the body and nervous system. In Beth's practice, substance and process addictions are treated as symptoms of trauma and limbic system injury, not as stand alone pathology. Beth approaches addictions treatment as trauma and dissociation treatment, with an emphasis on healing root traumas in order to decrease the need to self-medicate for pain. She believes that treating gestational, intergenerational, and early childhood trauma can lead to greater self-awareness, and that desensitizing the body's threat response creates the internal safety to respond to situations in a healthier way. Beth is an adjunct professor of counseling theories and counselor ethics at Loyola University of New Orleans, where she incorporates the cultural historical model of trauma into both classes. She is currently conducting a pilot study on a novel cognitive and somatic therapy: Advanced Integrative Therapy (AIT), which is her primary modality in her clinical practice. Her passion is to help healthcare professionals increase their confidence in treating addictions, complex trauma, and the auto-immune effects of toxic stress in the body.
