Session Summaries
Complex trauma occurs over time, typically beginning in childhood. When a person is continually or repeatedly exposed to traumatizing situations and/or relationships, s/he can experience severe disruptions in sdaily functioning and bodily health. This session will explore some components of complex trauma, as well as specific assessment measures to be used to discover and monitor symptoms.
This session focuses on specific methods for counseling those who are experiencing the effects of complex trauma. We will focus on affect regulation, relational dysfunction, and the counselee’s negative beliefs and destructive self-talk.
This session will cover the overlap between traumatization and other problems such as addiction and compulsion. Participants will learn how to discover co-existing struggles, as well as ways to treat both the traumatization and the co-existing struggle in tandem and at a reasonable pace for the counselee.
For those who are currently experiencing traumatization, the typical methods of counseling often must be paused in favor of seeking safety, additional support, and more intensive stabilization. This session will include helping counselees create a safety plan, as well as ways to care for the family of the traumatized person.
