Trauma can profoundly disrupt a person’s life, but it can also be a catalyst for growth, resilience, and transformation. This training introduces psychotherapists to the concept of posttraumatic growth, exploring how individuals can discover new meaning, strengths, and possibilities after experiencing trauma.
Participants will learn to recognize the signs of growth alongside distress and understand the factors that support clients in moving toward personal development and empowerment.
Through case examples, discussion, and practical exercises, attendees will explore therapeutic strategies to foster resilience, facilitate meaning-making, and help clients re-author their narratives in ways that honor their experiences while cultivating hope.
Therapists will leave with tools to guide clients toward integrating trauma into their life story, promoting healing, insight, and renewed purpose.
Workshop Objectives:
- Develop an understanding of the concept of post-traumatic growth and its distinction from recovery or resilience.
- Learn strategies to help clients identify personal strengths, meaning, and opportunities for growth following trauma.
- Identify interventions to facilitate narrative re-authoring, meaning-making, and resilience-building in trauma-affected clients.
