In this thought-provoking presentation, Dr. Nicole explores the similarities and differences between acute and complex PTSD, offering a deeper understanding of how complex trauma in humans can shed light on similar patterns in animals. You’ll learn what sets complex PTSD apart, how it manifests, and—most importantly—how veterinarians, trainers, and shelter staff can support animals affected by long-term trauma. Drawing on powerful case studies, including animals rescued from hoarding environments, Dr. Nicole reveals striking similarities between these animals and humans who have experienced prolonged abuse or neglect. Her insights will help you reframe difficult behavior through the lens of trauma and discover practical, compassionate ways to help these individuals heal and connect. This session is especially valuable for professionals working in shelters, rescues, and clinical settings who encounter complex behavioral challenges—and want to make a real difference in the lives of traumatized animals.
