Welcome, TheraSummit Attendees

Your childhood dissociation guide from the TheraSummit talk

You're in the right place for the free packet: the Window of Tolerance and the Zones of Regulation, mapped across every developmental stage, with the worksheets to match.

Preview of the Dissociation Across the Window of Tolerance packet: cover, quick reference grid, and worksheets

What's in the packet

  • The Developmental Quick Reference. One grid that shows what dissociation looks like above, inside, and below the window at ages 0–5, 6–10, 10–12, and 13–18, what helps, and what to avoid. Print it, keep it at your desk, glance at it between sessions.
  • Ages 0–5: Understanding Your Child's Window of Tolerance. A caregiver-facing guide you can hand to parents, with a fill-in section for their child's specific signals.
  • Ages 6–10: My Zones and My Window. An in-session worksheet that gives kids words for the Red, Yellow, Green, and Blue Zones in their own body.
  • Ages 10–12: My Inside Weather. A self-monitoring tool built for the "I'm fine" kid, using weather language to make internal states readable.
  • Ages 13–18: My Window. My Map. My Plan. A collaborative mapping tool where the teen authors their own regulation plan, triggers, exit points, costs, and all.
When the packet lands in your inbox, you'll also find the link to the full three-hour training on childhood dissociation, with the complete differential diagnosis work, every intervention, the family and school pieces, and CE credit available.

From one trauma therapist to another

Jenny Hughes, PhD, is a trauma psychologist and Assistant Professor at LSUHSC and UTHealth Houston. She trained in Child-Parent Psychotherapy and Circle of Security and is an infant mental health specialist.

She founded The BRAVE Trauma Therapist Collective and created the BRAVE Method, Name It → Tame It → Reframe It, because trauma therapists aren't meant to do this work in isolation.

"The kids who dissociate built something protective exactly when they needed it, and so did the adults they became. Our job is to see the skill, name it, and help them need it less."
