We share what we learned and experiences in recent ISSTD conferences.  We open with the regional conference held in Kentucky with Robert Muller, who presented about slowing down therapy and how grounding is meant for dysregulation (not safety issues in therapy or the therapeutic relationship).  We explore the meaning of plurality and our own struggle with identity.  We share what we learned about the incongruence between the external and internal experience of the same events and interactions.  We also learned about how we sometimes get “stuck” because our prefrontal cortex goes offline, and why we have to stay within the Window of Tolerance to stay engaged.  We also share our experience starting EMDR class in the ISSTD program.
