Releasing Trauma: An Integrative Model of Trauma Practice
February 21 @ 9:00 am - 4:00 pm
$180Audience: Learners with some experience in counselling and/or other clinical practice, who are interested in expanding their skills in working with individuals who have experienced trauma.
Description: Participants in this training will learn the Experiential Unity Model, which offers an effective integrative treatment model for addressing the impact of trauma in counselling therapy, and that adheres to the principles of neuroscience. Learning about the client’s experience through somatic work is critical to trauma engagement and accessing sensory embodied emotions, and is a way of working from an anti-oppressive practice lens. Situating the client as the expert of their somatic experience protects the client from an impositional framework that interprets their experience or encourages them to work within fixed parameters of a top-down counseling model. In the course, participants will learn about what factors are critical to trauma informed therapeutic work and learn how to integrate them into a counseling practice with clients experiencing trauma.
