5 hour course on DID now available

 
I have the privilege of announcing that we have joined forces with Dr. Timothy Brewerton to help him tell a very powerful story and to share expertise in childhood trauma with more professionals.  Over the last 15 years I have had the opportunity to film over 200 researchers in trauma, neuroscience and public health in an effort to build mental health literacy and resiliency training tools and programs.  In particular, a few researchers stand out in my mind as exceptional. When I met Timothy Brewerton, it was in 2012 when we collaborated to hold an eating disorder training for licensed professionals in Richland and Lexington county schools in Columbia, SC.  I knew then that he was an outlier -- not only because he is a child & adolescent psychiatrist -- but also because he is a rare specialist in trauma, substance use and eating disorders. Through that work together, and through a friendship with him and his incredible wife Therese Killeen, I have had the privilege of learning so much about their shared careers and research areas in PTSD / trauma / substance use and eating disorders.  When I worked in eating disorder treatment centers designing yoga and mindfulness / MBSR interventions, I was struck by how many cases of trauma (sometimes early childhood, but often adult trauma) were underlying the mental disorders. Yet few were addressing or acknowledging it.  I sought out the research of Dr. Brewerton and others in the field to understand how to prevent the root causes of mental disorders, with a focus on trauma.
Over the last 2 years we have collaborated to launch a training course on early childhood trauma and dissociative identity disorder (multiple personality disorder). Through SharpenMinds, we offer Dr. Brewerton's course for 5 hours of CMEs/CEUs, which features video clips from various stages of Sylvia's treatment and illustrates the dissociative processes and the various "alters" identified. We are also producing a feature documentary film on the topic, but I will share a separate post on that soon.
I am extremely honored to highlight the story that Sylvia wanted to tell -- hers is a hopeful story of recovery and resilience. If you are interested in the DID course, please take a look at www.sharpenminds.com/sylvia for more detail.
