Webinar Starts In:
When Youth Therapy Gets Stuck: Trauma, Anxiety, and Emotional Dysregulation in Children
Learn How to Treat Trauma, Anxiety, and Dysregulation in Children
MODULE 1
Distinguish a trauma response from an anxiety disorder from ADHD in a child — even when all three look identical in session.
MODULE 2
Identify exactly which part of the nervous system is driving the shutdown, the explosion, or the freeze, & which intervention belongs there first.
MODULE 3
Build the specific kind of relational safety a traumatized child's nervous system requires before any clinical work can begin.
MODULE 4
Identify unaddressed ACEs driving the symptom presentation, so you stop treating the surface and start reaching the wound.
MODULE 5
Recognize when a child's behavior is a nervous system response to trauma, not a choice that consequences can change.
MODULE 6
Know exactly when medication belongs in the clinical picture and how to discuss it with parents without overstepping your scope.

Before Dr. Magida ever sat across from a dysregulated child in a therapy room, she was in the classroom with them — managing meltdowns, tracking nervous system responses, and watching what actually moved the needle when nothing textbook-approved was working.
She then became the Behavior Intervention Specialist for an entire Illinois school district, training clinicians responsible for the most complex youth presentations in the system. That's 15 years of real-world experience with the children who keep every clinician up at night — and it's what this masterclass is built on.



You know within the first session whether you're looking at trauma, anxiety, or both, & exactly which intervention belongs there first
The child who hasn't made eye contact in four sessions finally has a nervous system explanation you can work with
You co-regulate the meltdown before it peaks instead of managing the fallout after
Parents who came in expecting behavior plans leave with a clinician who can explain what's actually wrong, and fix it
You treat the anxiety. The trauma underneath keeps ruining everything you treat.
The child dysregulates mid-session and you fall back on grounding techniques that don't touch it
You recommend behavioral strategies because the school demands them, & watch them fail in real time
You refer out the youth cases you actually want to keep
The parents stop returning your calls because nothing has moved in 3 months

If any child or adolescent appears in your caseload — as a primary client or through family sessions — this training gives you a framework you will use immediately. You do not need to specialize in youth to get clinical value from this Masterclass.
This is not a review of standard child development or general anxiety frameworks. It is built for the presentations standard training does not cover — the diagnostically confusing child, the dysregulated child no behavioral intervention has reached, the child carrying ACEs nobody identified. If you have sat with a youth case that did not respond the way your training told you it should, this is built for that moment.
Dr. Magida built this Masterclass around session-level clinical application, not theory. Every framework is designed to be used with the next child who sits across from you. The recording reinforces that — it is a clinical reference you pull up when a specific case demands it, not a passive rewatch.
If you are sitting with a child you cannot fully read — one whose behavior is not responding to your current approach — yes. This Masterclass gives you a specific framework for identifying what is driving the presentation and what intervention belongs there first.
CEs are approved for LCSWs, LPCs, LMFTs, and LMHCs. Full board approval details are listed at the bottom of this page.
Dr. Magida has worked with these presentations for 15 years. Every concept in this Masterclass connects directly to what you do in the room — what you say, what you watch for, and what you try next.
Register and attend whatever portion you can. The 9 CE upgrade gives you the full 6 hours in the order Dr. Magida delivered it — available the moment you need it, for as long as you need it.
