Session Description: This workshop will cover: Defining Trauma; Identifying Types of Trauma; How the Stress Response System Works; and How We Heal from Trauma. The presentation explores what trauma really is — a response to an event, not the event itself. Loss of self, a major symptom of a trauma event, will be analyzed in detail. Identifying Trauma will identify and define Big "T" and Little "t" traumas, Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs), the impact on human development, and the relationship between trauma and addiction. How the Stress Response System Works will show the relationship of cortisol and the Stress Response System (SRS), the purpose of the SRS, and what happens when the SRS becomes dysregulated. Healing from Trauma will look at best practices, including how Mindfulness can be utilized, the extreme importance of the therapeutic relationship, types of therapy modalities, and what makes therapy work in clinical settings. With expanded understanding of the impact of therapeutic relationships, attendees will be able to better navigate the therapeutic alliance of patient and therapist, and patient and their support network.
