2.5 hours of continuing education credits are available, through R. Cassidy Seminars for professionals who complete “The SOAP Chart Workshop” video course. This self-paced, home-study, workshop introduces the clinical applications of an adaptation (with the author’s kind permission) of Dr. Janina Fisher’s neurobiologically-driven, parts-based, model for working with trauma, the Strengths of All Parts (SOAP) Chart. The target audience for this introductory to intermediate level training includes psychologists, social workers, marriage and family counselors, psychiatrists, and other licensed mental health workers.

Sharon Gold-Steinberg, PhD, a licensed clinical psychologist in private practice in Ann Arbor, Michigan and co-creator of Therapist Refresh, provides a 30-minute experiential exploration of participants' own parts of self in preparation for learning. Sara Stein, MS, LMSW, RYT a licensed social worker and doctoral student in the University of Michigan’s joint program in Social Work and Psychology, delivers 2-hours of instruction on the theory behind the chart and strategies for implementing its use in clinical practice.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

  • Describe how parts of self develop as an adaptive response to external environmental factors and form along the fault lines of the five animal survival defenses (fight, flight, freeze, submit, and attach).
  • Identify clients’ implicit/procedural memories (or flashbacks) that may not be consistent with the current environmental circumstances of the individual.
  •  Discuss how to label conflicting priorities of their clients’ parts of self and affirm them as strategies developed originally to keep an individual safe.
  •  Explain the three phases of a trauma-informed treatment (safety and stabilization, processing, and integration; Herman, 1998) that integrates parts work.
  •  Identify and develop skills to focus on the strengthening of an internal secure attachment (Fisher, 2017) between an individual’s Wise Self and each part of self as the central goal of a trauma-informed parts model treatment plan.
