“I became what I am today at the age of twelve, on a frigid overcast day in the winter of 1975. I remember the precise moment, crouching behind a crumbling mud wall, peeking into the alley near the frozen creek. That was a long time ago, but it’s wrong what they say about the past, I’ve learned, about how you can bury it. Because the past claws its way out. Looking back now, I realize I have been peeking into that deserted alley for the last twenty-six years.”

― Khaled Hosseini, The Kite Runner

Dear Readers,

 

Please find below recording of webinar ‘An Integration of Cognitive Processing Therapy, Schema Therapy, and Prolonged Exposure in Treatment of Trauma and Eating Disorders’ with Dr. Nicole Siegfried. Dr. Nicole Siegfried discusses ways to integrate Cognitive Processing therapy, Prolonged Exposure Therapy and Schema Therapy for clients with Trauma and Eating Disorders. I’ve also uploaded the power point of the presentation (in PDF Format) and numerous handouts for you to utilize. This was one of the most brilliant webinars ever. Please see for yourself. You’ll be amazed with the literature and the learning aids provided by the Castlewood Treatment Centre.

 

“The conflict between the will to deny horrible events and the will to proclaim them aloud is the central dialectic of psychological trauma.”

― Judith Lewis Herman, Trauma and Recovery

“When you’re born a light is switched on, a light which shines up through your life. As you get older the light still reaches you, sparkling as it comes up through your memories. And if you’re lucky as you travel forward through time, you’ll bring the whole of yourself along with you, gathering your skirts and leaving nothing behind, nothing to obscure the light. But if a Bad Thing happens part of you is seared into place, and trapped for ever at that time. The rest of you moves onward, dealing with all the todays and tomorrows, but something, some part of you, is left behind. That part blocks the light, colours the rest of your life, but worse than that, it’s alive. Trapped for ever at that moment, and alone in the dark, that part of you is still alive.”

― Michael Marshall Smith, Only Forward
