PIT Training

Participants will:
Become familiar with the important role that family-of-origin issues play in development.
Learn techniques to assist clients in identifying their childhood trauma.
Be able to identify the core issues and the five secondary symptoms of developmental immaturity.
Become familiar with the concepts of the wounded child and the adapted adult child.
Learn and practice shame reduction techniques.
