Intro to Trauma: Where it Started and How to Plant Seeds of Resilience

$99.00

Understanding trauma requires a shift from viewing symptoms as pathology to recognizing them as adaptive responses to overwhelming experiences. This training invites clinicians to conceptualize trauma as a disconnection from the self and a disruption in system integration. Clinicians will gain practical, evidence-informed tools to assess, conceptualize, and respond to trauma across diverse client populations. Emphasizing a strengths-based, trauma-informed lens, this course supports providers in fostering psychological flexibility, identifying innate resilience, and promoting post-traumatic growth while maintaining diagnostic clarity and cultural responsiveness.

Trauma-informed care emerges at critical points in treatment — recognizing how past experiences shape present symptoms, distinguishing between adaptive responses and pathology, identifying triggers, and supporting clients in building meaningful, sustainable change. This course provides the clinical structure and direction necessary to apply EMDR’s three-pronged approach, ACT interventions, and strengths-based reframing, helping clinicians foster resilience, enhance psychological flexibility, and support post-traumatic growth while maintaining ethical, culturally responsive care.

Training Objectives:

  • Summarize Dr. Gabor Maté’s framework of trauma as a disconnection from the self and a “normal” response to an “abnormal” environment and Dr. Dan Siegel’s “overwhelm” of system causing disintegration
  • Demonstrate trauma-informed care and cultural considerations across client populations
  • Diagnose in accordance with DSM 5-tr diagnostic criteria
  • Understand the EMDR three-pronged approach (past, present, future) to identify where trauma started and how it informs current triggers
  • Identify two specific ACT interventions, such as cognitive defusions, to help clients distance themselves from traumatic thought patterns
  • Identify two specific ACT interventions, such as cognitive defusions, to help clients distance themselves from traumatic thought patterns
