What are the retreats and training seminars about?
As a result of requests and her interest areas, Dr. Weitzman has created training seminars for professionals which encompasses learning about: upscale violence; ways to diagnose and intervene specific to the path of the upscale abused woman; character profiles of the upscale battered woman and batterer; the paradox of the helping professions and how to deal with that; advocacy; custody and legal issues; and transference and counter-transference issues for the clinician and trained professionals. Healing the Battered Heart© Retreats are geared to women who are either currently enduring upscale abuse or have survived and moved on but are still struggling with: post-traumatic symptoms; difficulty adjusting to life post abuse and/or life post upscale lifestyle; lingering fears and anxieties, as well as obsessive preoccupation with the batterer; explaining, protecting, and bonding with children and family; and trying to cope with the aftermath of divorces and/or custody legal suits.
