Trauma touches nearly every area of clinical practice, whether or not it is the presenting issue. Trauma-informed care provides a framework for understanding how trauma shapes clients’ experiences and for creating therapeutic spaces grounded in safety, trust, and empowerment.
This training introduces psychotherapists to the foundations of trauma-informed practice, exploring the key principles and their application across diverse clinical settings.
Through discussion, reflection, and practical strategies, participants will learn how to recognize the signs of trauma, avoid re-traumatization, and support clients in ways that honor resilience and autonomy. Attendees will leave with a solid foundation for weaving trauma-informed care into everyday practice, enhancing both therapeutic alliance and client outcomes.
Workshop Objectives:
- Develop a foundational understanding of the principles and philosophy of trauma-informed care.
- Learn practical strategies for creating safety, trust, and empowerment in therapeutic relationships.
- Identify ways to recognize trauma responses and avoid re-traumatization in clinical practice.
