Description

Are you confident in your clinical treatment with individuals who have experienced trauma or PTSD?

Or do you have a pit in your stomach after working with a traumatized client because you’re afraid you’ve done more harm than good?

Despite our best efforts, clients are frequently startled or even retraumatized by discussing their experiences before they have mastered the skills to regulate their emotions, relax their bodies, and focus on the present.

This typical therapeutic stumbling block might result in clients retreating from the experience, ignoring their thoughts and feelings, or discontinuing therapy entirely. Clinicians can assist clients in tolerating distressing memories, triggers, and emotions in order to effectively negotiate their trauma narrative and proceed towards post-traumatic growth by adding mindfulness methods.

Watch this recording and you will walk away with evidence-based, best-practice therapeutic treatments based on traumatic stress neuroscience and effective mind-body therapy techniques for better clinical outcomes! You will leave this training feeling more confident in your trauma work!
