Faculty Professional Development
Dr. King attended a Treating Affairs and Trauma workshop offered by The Gottman Institute. This workshop studied the impact of PTSD on committed relationships using real examples of trauma caused by early abandonment, childhood abuse, and military combat. Therapeutic approaches that interweave individual PTSD treatment with Gottman Method Couples Therapy were learned and applied. This workshop also unfolds the science behind trust and betrayal and provides the tools needed to create trust and commitment in love relationships.
