The Gentle Art of Loving Your Trauma Clients - So They Can Learn to Love Themselves-WMHCA

Presented By

2 CEs Recorded: Fall, 2022

Description This will be a glimpse of a broad view of working with symptomatic clients. Whether they experience anxiety, depression, substance abuse, relationship high conflict, career issues, or chronic pain, they have one thing in common: trauma. The thoughts, sensations, emotions, and behaviors resulting from our reactions to traumatic events are pleas for attention to deep, often unconscious, unprocessed internal conflict. As clinicians, we can present a gentle hand called hope, inviting an overdue conversation.

Learning Objectives

Participants will Learn: A: The difference between diagnoses based on what happened and those based on what needed to happen B: How grief work, attachment work, family systems, and self-love are connected C: How to help clients repair internal broken bonds to promote healing
