7am - 10am PT | 8am-11am MT | 9am - 12pm CT | 10am - 1pm ET

Deepen your clinical expertise in treating skin-focused repetitive behaviors (SFRBs) with this advanced 3-hour training led by Stacy K. Nakell, LCSW, CGP, CCTP. Building on introductory concepts, this “201” session explores how trauma and early life experiences influence the development of SFRBs, and how an integrative psychodynamic approach can support healing.

This training is structured into three interactive parts:

1. Didactic (1 hr): Stacy will present research linking trauma to SFRBs, share a trauma-informed framework, and outline practical strategies for implementing psychodynamic interventions in both individual and group settings.

2. Process Group (1 hr): Participants will engage in a facilitated group experience, seeded by the didactic material, with guided discussion and debrief.

3. Case Consultation (1 hr): One or two participant cases will be discussed collaboratively. To present a case, email Stacy directly at stacy.nakell@gmail.com for details.

The session concludes with a live Q&A.
