WHAT YOU'LL FIND IN THIS COURSE
Tigers Running Wild: Recovering from a Time of Threat
Janina Fisher, PhD
As the pandemic nears its end, we must learn how to once again live in a world without threat.
In this session, you'll explore how to 'turn off' the survival responses that have become increasingly automatic and how to recover from the ordeal with which we have been living.
Collective Trauma: Practical Strategies for Working Somatically in Times of Change
Manuela Mischke-Reeds
As a mental health professional, you are being stretched to become innovative, resilient, and efficient in your approach to trauma treatment.
Get insight into how you can embrace the integration of somatic techniques, embodied mindfulness practices, and inclusive, co-regulating, restorative psychotherapy — so you can meet the multi-dimensional demands of trauma healing.
Tuning In and Zoning Out: Engaging Dissociation
Pam Stavropoulos, PhD
Dissociation symptoms can range from mild and benign to entrenched and severe, yet one thing remains constant: many clinicians do not know what dissociation looks like or how to assess it.
This session will discuss the importance of clinical attunement to dissociation, its core features, how symptoms manifest, and how attentiveness to dissociation can assist clients with varying symptoms.
Understanding the potential for Posttraumatic Growth (PTG)
Fiona Pienaar, PhD
To know where we are heading, we must first understand where we are coming from. In this session, you'll explore the theory, history, domains, and range of research on post-traumatic growth.
Post-Traumatic Growth: Bouncing forward after adversity
Renata Porzig-Drummond, PhD
Understanding the difference between resilience and post-traumatic growth is crucial to facilitate the strength-based post-traumatic growth process without minimising the damage trauma can cause.
In this session, you'll identify key components of post-traumatic growth, discuss strategies that help facilitate post-traumatic growth, and explore factors that help determine whether a client is open to a discussion about aspects of post-traumatic growth.
