“Trauma: What, Why and How—A Roadmap to Providing Ethical and Effective Treatment (Part 1)”

 Meredith Wood, LPC/MHSP(S)

This is an application-focused training regarding working with clients with trauma histories and disorders. We will focus on the operational definition of trauma, its manifestations, and ethical treatment. There will be a focus on understanding symptom presentation so that the correct skills or referral choices can be made.

Objectives:

• Learn what trauma symptoms look like to accurately treatment plan
• Understand why the symptoms exist to know what techniques to use and ethical considerations in treating trauma symptoms
• Learn how to talk to your clients so this makes sense, and instills hope
• Begin to gain integrative techniques to heal!
