Introduction to Trauma and Trauma Treatment
November 15, 2024 - 1:00 PM to 4:15 PM ET
This course will provide a basic understanding of trauma and the impact that trauma has on the body and how it presents in a psychotherapy setting. Trauma can come in many forms, ranging from societal and intergenerational trauma to singular events to chronic and complex life experiences. This course will examine how these traumatic events impact individuals, as well as note common reactions in clinicians and secondary exposure to trauma.
In addition to this, we will review three different types of trauma treatment, including Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy, and Internal Family Systems Therapy, as types of avenues for treatment and how they work. This part of the training is not a certification and will serve as a starting point in different trauma treatments, as well as explore commonalities between the different treatment styles.
