There is a significant body of evidence now available which shows that the majority of individuals who present for mental health and substance abuse treatment are primarily dealing with the impact of psychological trauma. Evidence from neurobiology shows that trauma impacts on areas of the brain which are sub-cortical and therefore not accessible by cognitions. There is a growing awareness of the need therefore for clinicians to have the therapeutic skills which support their clients in developing the ability to regulate their nervous systems. This workshop will give you an understanding of the need for these skills and introduction to them in practise.
This course is for counsellors and psychotherapists, including students, who are interested in understanding how the psychological impact of trauma manifests in our everyday interactions with the self, others and the world. The course is for those who wish to learn more about how to work with trauma from a neuro—psychotherapeutic perspective.
Students will develop an understanding of the need for an embodied approach to trauma. Within in this, students will have the opportunity to observe the basic skills used in working with an embodied approach and from this students will gain practical insight into using these skills in a professional therapeutic setting. The experiential nature of the workshop will invite students to view trauma from a biopsychosocial perspective and permit an opportunity to begin to use these skills in action.
