Research concerning best practice continually points towards practitioners assuring themselves and their clients of the ability to approach individuals in a multifactorial manner. The ability to understand all possible contributors to and outcomes of dysregulation is imperative for the individual, his/her family, and his/her care providers. This session will present information about the impacts of trauma upon neurobiological and psychosocial aspects of regulation and relationships. This knowledge can inform providers of even non trauma exposed, dysregulated clients with successful strategies to interact and, ultimately, help the client stabilize regulation.
