Working Efficiently with Complicated PTSD – Online Workshop

Online Workshop – Working Efficiently with Complicated PTSD

Presenter: Dr. Sharif El-Leithy

Date: 9 Nov & 10 Nov 2026  | Time: 9.00am – 12.30pm 

Complicated PTSD presentations can leave clinicians feeling unsure where to begin, what to prioritise, and how to keep treatment focused. Multiple trauma memories, comorbidity, dissociation, risk, strong emotions, longstanding beliefs, mistrust, and social adversity can all pull therapy in different directions.

This workshop focuses on how to work efficiently with complicated PTSD by using formulation to sort complexity, select trauma targets, and stay trauma-focused. The emphasis is not on rushing treatment, but on making clearer clinical decisions: what needs to be addressed directly, what needs adapting around, what can be held as context, and what may pull treatment off track.
