Moving beyond conventional therapeutic responses, in this practical and engaging webinar, globally acclaimed trauma trainer Lisa Ferentz shows us how to enhance our therapeutic approach so we can help clients achieve an ongoing state of post-traumatic growth (PTG). Using art prompts, somatic resourcing, guided imagery, cognitive re-framing, and journal prompts, we will discuss how, as therapists, we can plant the seeds of hope early in therapy, while still balancing the client’s need to process their trauma.
With this as the foundation, we will learn how to efficaciously incorporate the positive attributes that we have at our therapeutic disposal so clients can continue to heal from their trauma while also experiencing the unique growth and meaning-making that accompanies post-traumatic growth. These include:
- increased attachment and a new way of relating to others
- the capacity to believe in new possibilities
- the rediscovery of personal strengths
- and a newfound appreciation for life in general
As therapists and counsellors, we will discover new approaches to effectively harness the potential of these attributes to not only duly acknowledge the client’s pain and grief but also simultaneously bring them to a place of newfound hope, resilience, and healing.
Lisa first explains how these positive effects of post-traumatic growth (PTG) stage allow us to strengthen and reformulate our therapeutic approach, and why the meaning that clients attach to trauma is so important.
The webinar uses case examples, powerful videotapes of clients’ healing journeys, and client’s artwork to explore the tangible markers of post-traumatic growth (PTG). Therapists will learn how to incorporate creative strategies that help to introduce and strengthen the concepts of post-traumatic growth as clients move forward in their healing journeys by:
- Learning how to incorporate the power of the therapeutic relationship
- Leveraging the clients’ remembered resources and clients’ own wisdom and self-compassion to strengthen the manifestations of post-traumatic growth
- Understanding the hamster wheel phenomenon of perpetually asking “why” trauma occurred and how we can navigate it in therapy
- Utilizing meaning-making that exacerbates or mitigates the sequelae of trauma
- Working with the wounded inner child and noticing glimmers of PTG
- Explaining the “remembered resource” strategy to strengthen self-compassion
- Identifying three assessment questions that can be used to highlight and strengthen clients’ resiliency
- Identifying at least three reasons why some clients might find it challenging to reach a place of post-traumatic growth
