About the Presentations
9:00 - 10:30 a.m. Addiction and Trauma: Complexities of Treating the Young Adult by Claudia Black, PhD, MSW 
Working with young adults with addictive disorders most often means working with co-occurring disorders of anxiety and depression. Recognizing not just blatant traumas, but addressing developmental trauma is significant in their treatment. Dr. Claudia Black will also address clinical issues amongst the often ignored population of economically privileged young people, and will conclude by addressing treatment protocol that recognizes the development needs of this age group that is different from their older counterparts.
Learning Objectives After this presentation, attendees will be able to: 1. Identify dynamics of developmental trauma. 2. Identify factors that place young people with economic and social advantages at high risk for addiction and co-occurring disorders. 3. List 8 core elements to a healthy treatment process.
10:45 a.m. - 12:15 p.m. Neuropsychodrama Meets Psychodrama and Sociometry: The Relational Healing of Psychodrama and Sociometry by Tian Dayton, PhD, MA, TEP 
Early forms of childhood trauma can seriously impact how information and energy become processed by the body/mind. Psychodrama is the seminal role play method and one of the original mind/body approaches to therapy. It can heal relational trauma through working with the dyad, the stored relational memory in both its intra-personal and inter-personal form. Attendees will learn how psychodrama and sociometry interface with neuropsychology and how to use those principles to inform the manner in which we treat clients. This experiential presentation will include a didactic component in the begninning based on Dr. Dayton's The Living Stage. 
Learning Objectives After this presentation, attendees will be able to: 1. Identify the connection between psychodrama and neuropsychology according to Moreno - "The body remembers what the mind forgets." 2. Identify how a less than optimal home environment impacts the limbic system and affects development. 3. Identify how and where neuropsychology interfaces with the method of psychodrama and why psychodrama is an ideal method for healing a deregulated limbic system.
1:30 - 3:00 p.m. Essential Living: A Game Plan for Reclaiming our Essential Self by Shelley Uram, MD
Many people think that the key to happiness and fulfillment is having more money, greater career success, or a happy family. Yet, even if they achieve these things, they usually still find themselves unsatisfied, unhappy, and in an endless cycle of wanting more. Why is this? When we peel back the layers to reveal what we really want most in life, what remains are: a sense of peace, happiness, love, freedom, and connectedness. All too often we don’t realize this until the end of our lives, not knowing that we were actually born with an unlimited source for all these qualities at the very core of our being—the Essential Self.
Dr. Uram explains how our ancient survival brain mechanisms short-circuit our connection to our Essential Self beginning when we are children, which ultimately leads us away from who we really are and down a path of unnecessary suffering. We are conditioned by our brains to live in a state of fear and anxiety. Dr. Uram then provides readers with insightful self-assessment exercises, invaluable frameworks, and helpful tools to chart a personalized return to the Essential Self. By learning how to quiet the ancient survival brain and reclaim our essence, we can discover an unlimited wellspring of what will truly sustain and fulfill us. 
Learning Objectives After this presentation, attendees will be able to: 1. Identify three of the deepest desires most people have but are usually not aware of. 2. Identify which part of the human brain best facilitates our reconnecting with our deepest needs/desires. 3. Identify two practices that most support this brain area.
3:45 - 5:15 p.m. The Body Keeps the Score by Bessel van der Kolk, MD
This presentation will show how trauma affects the developing mind and brain, and teach how trauma affects self-awareness and self-regulation. We will focus on the fundamental difference between trauma de-sensitization versus integration and growth, and look at the difference between disrupted attachment and traumatic stress. We will examine the role of interpersonal rythms and attunement in establishing a sense of self and community. This presentation will discuss and demonstrate affect regulation techniques, examine ways to deal with fragmented self-experience, and teach the benefits of yoga, EMDR, meditation, neurofeedback, music, and theater. 
Learning Objectives After this presentation, attendees will be able to: 1. Identify the difference between disrupted attachment and traumatic stress. 2. List and describe techniques of physical mastery, affect regulation, and memory processing. 3. Describe the range of adaptations to trauma early in the life cycle.
