3. How does dissociation impact suicidality and self-injury?

Dissociation can significantly affect how suicidal thoughts and self-injurious behaviours present in therapy. Clients may experience:

  • Dissociative parts holding suicidal intent

  • Internal conflict between parts

This training explores how to assess and respond to suicidality safely when dissociation is present, using trauma-informed and phase-oriented approaches.

Yes. The training includes guidance on:

  • Conducting risk assessments with dissociative clients

  • Differentiating chronic versus acute suicidality

  • Managing self-injury within a trauma-informed framework

  • Creating collaborative safety plans

  • Reducing re-traumatisation during intervention

The focus is on clinically applicable tools that can be implemented immediately in practice.


5. Is this course appropriate for working with complex PTSD and DID?

Yes. The course is highly relevant for clinicians working with complex PTSD, structural dissociation, and Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID). It addresses the unique challenges of suicidality and self-injury within dissociative systems.


6. Can I complete this training at my own pace?

Yes. As a pre-recorded online professional development course, you can access and complete the training at a time that suits your clinical schedule.
