Working with dissociative parts and their voices: A practical guide for trauma therapists
with Dolores Mosquera
18 July 2026 | 3.00pm – 6.00pm AEST
Working with clients with dissociative disorders is challenging for client and therapist, including formulating the treatment plan, structuring sessions, supporting clients to understand and navigate internal conflicts, and working with protector parts who seemingly sabotage the client in session and life outside the therapy room. Some parts will be stuck in trauma while others will be driven to deny or avoid at any cost.
Betrayal trauma and attachment wounds leave the nervous system locked on high alert resulting in compromised regulatory capacities, distrust and hostility.
Dolores will present practical strategies and tools for the different steps of healing from trauma, skills to adapt procedures and techniques, allowing for safe interventions with clinical challenges working with dissociative parts.
