The effects of trauma and systemic oppression show up every day in a clinical setting. Often, providers are not aware when these themes show up in their clients or themselves. If they are aware, they may not know how to best direct the session for optimal healing. In this workshop, you will learn about the connection between trauma and oppression and why these themes show up so frequently but are often poorly addressed. You will learn how to recognize when trauma responses occur within clients and yourself at a somatic, cognitive, and emotional level. Lastly, you will learn how to help move trauma through the client’s body without harming them or yourself. The tools learned here are intended to be accessible across culture and economic status. We’ll also discuss how to model these skills in a way that improves therapeutic rapport and has the potential to heal attachment wounds. By the end of this training, clinicians will leave with a diverse toolbox in relational and somatic healing, along with the cognitive framework needed to apply those tools to heal systemic oppression and trauma.
Objectives:
- Develop an intermediate understanding of the somatic and neurological effects of trauma.
- Learn how trauma intersects with systemic oppression.
- Recognize how themes of oppression and trauma present in a clinical setting.
- Identify when vicarious trauma is impacting sessions.
- Practice skills to release stored trauma during and after sessions.
