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 daily 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.

All participants will be given access to the Level 2 Course through their account dashboard on the CTHN website. Participants must be logged in to their CTHN account to access course materials. Materials include video lectures and a participant packet (which includes session outlines and handouts to utilize in counseling sessions and for homework). Access to the participant packet is available upon purchase of the course.
