Trauma Work Made Doable
Many people who seek substance abuse treatment have a history of trauma. Even clinicians who don’t specialize in trauma need familiarity with the issue and skills to help people with trauma or painful past experiences. This in-depth training offers licensed clinicians a transformative approach to trauma therapy, emphasizing resilience and well-being through a resilience and adaptive lens rather than a deficit or symptom focus. Join us to deepen your understanding of trauma and develop practical, evidence-based skills that can be immediately applied in clinical practice. Participants will explore techniques from somatic work, Internal Family Systems (IFS), mindfulness/meditation, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), each designed to support holistic healing and empower therapy participants (and therapists!) in their recovery journey. This training is ideal for clinicians seeking to better understand trauma from a strengths-based, adaptive approach and who want to increase their skill set.
Classes are held in person from 1-5:00 pm at the Alumni Outpatient Center in the SECU Lecture Hall on the Fellowship Hall campus.
