Description:
This four-day training will encompass a variety of teaching styles. It will include lecture, large and small group discussion and practicum.
Healing Our Core Issues is a developmental and relational trauma model of counseling based on the theory that individuals who have experienced trauma in their lives can experience relief and healing through connection. Developmental trauma is defined as any type of abuse a person experiences in their life from birth through age 25. Relational trauma is understood as a part of the dysfunctional patterns that can follow the person through their life.
The focus of this training is to introduce therapists to a broad overview of developmental and relational trauma and its impact on adult functioning. It will introduce and apply the following topics: Mindfulness, Core Issues work, Attachment and elements of Somatic Body Based work will be introduced as a way to integrate developmental and relational trauma through the body. The practicum consists of experiential work with your own family of origin history with a role play partner using the DART (Developmental and Relational Trauma) Assessment in a small group with a trained facilitator. After this training, you will have practical skills and ability to administer the DART Assessment that you can apply with your clients immediately.
This is an introductory program for all mental health professionals.
