Module 1
Trauma Informed Care
In this module, we’ll learn the latest research in trauma recovery and learn how the nervous system is essential to the healing of developmental and event trauma. We’ll also develop practical application skills to help your clients feel more empowered and easeful in their bodies.
Utilizing our new understanding of the polyvagal system, we will practice identifying when our clients nervous system has become dysregulated and how to gently guide the client in self-awareness. As the therapist, we’ll also practice self-regulation and learn how we can create an environment that is truly soothing to the nervous system. We’ll practice holding space for our clients to practice interception and learn how to articulate thoughts, feelings, and sensations as a way to rehabilitate their nervous system out of a fight, flight, or freeze response and to prevent them from dissociating during a session.
