How to Become a Trauma Wise Practitioner: The Use of Trauma Informed Practice: Video Course
How to Become a Trauma Wise Practitioner: The Use of Trauma Informed Practice: Video Course
This training day will introduce the fundamental principles of trauma informed practice which can enable clinicians to become trauma wise practitioners. The emphasis will be on how trauma informed practice acts as a scaffold for the primary model used by practitioners to aid their work when working with complex trauma, PTSD and C-PTSD. We examine:
- The importance of titrating exposure to trauma work by employing a three phased model which ensures stabilisation before processing traumatic experiences and moving towards integration
- The use of psychoeducation, grounding skills, and affect regulation to widen the Window of Tolerance – so as to facilitate somatic safety and distress tolerance when processing traumatic experiences
- Tried and tested techniques to manage trauma symptoms, flashbacks, intrusive memories, nightmares, dissociation and shame will be highlighted and evaluated
- Emphasis will also be placed on using both top down and bottom up processing skills and sensorimotor techniques, considering how we can make trauma safe adjustments to body focused techniques such as breathing, mindfulness and body scans
- The importance of integration and reconnecting to self and others will be highlighted, and we will look at examples that show how this can be facilitated through the therapeutic relationship to allow for post traumatic growth
