  • Advancing Clinical Skills for Trauma Therapy

The need for therapists with expertise in treating psychological trauma has never been greater. Fortunately, there is a greater understanding today than ever before about the widespread prevalence of trauma, and what clinicians need to know and do to be effective with clients. Trauma treatment is constantly evolving. This workshop brings together current research, theory and practical skills. Learn how to move your clients toward sustained emotional safety and regulation, increase their distress tolerance, deactivate memory triggers, and reduce fight, flight or freeze reactions.

Highlights of the day include:

  • Key neuropsychological principles of trauma therapy
  • Become better able to identify and understand therapeutic impasses
  • Learn new techniques to get unstuck
  • Know when the client is ready for processing traumatic memories
  • Learn how to slow down and track moment-to-moment with your clients

Workshop objectives:

  1. Describe neuropsychological principles that guide trauma therapy.
  2. Apply affective and somatic regulation strategies that are anchored in neuroscientific research and theoretical relational concepts.
  3. Understand the core experience of post-traumatic isolation, and implement approaches to join with a client that disrupts the sense of aloneness.
  4. Recognize the opportunities in therapeutic impasses, and how to re-engage the therapeutic relationship.
  5. Identify client readiness to process trauma memories, and increase meaning making and narrative coherence.
  6. Implement practical self-care strategies that promote well-being and minimize vicarious traumatization.
