Every day we are learning more about the effects of trauma and how the
trauma experience is stored in the brain and the body until it is
identified, addressed and healed. Trauma informed care is an approach
to care that understands the prevalence and impact of trauma.
Trauma-informed care acknowledges the effects of trauma, recognizes
the impact those effects have on behavior and responds in a manner
that is supportive, encouraging and empowering. Trauma-informed care
is not trauma treatment rather, the perspective that traumatic
experiences are prevalent, and the question is what happened to you
rather than what’s wrong with you. This four-part quarterly training
series explores trauma–informed care, combining up-to-date trauma
information with the safe application of experiential and creative
arts therapies and activities, including psychodrama, sociometry,
Family Constellations, art and meditation. Jan. 31, 2020 (Snow date
Feb. 7, 2020) April 17, 2020 July 17, 2020 Oct. 16, 2020 Instructors
are Karen Carnabucci, LCSW, TEP, and Sharon Czabafy, DSW, LCSW, CAADC,
NCTTP, CET, MAC, both of whom have long-standing expertise and
experience in trauma assessment, treatment, experiential methods, and
prevention and treatment of substance abuse disorders. The series will
focus on best practices in trauma-informed care integrated with
experiential psychotherapies, which are increasingly proven and
documented as therapies of choice for survivors of trauma. Brain
researchers demonstrates that it is the repeated experience that
activates growth and connection within the brain, so just as traumatic
experiences change the brain, so can positive and integrated
experience contribute to healing change. A total of 24 CE and
psychodrama hours provided for this four-part series. Participants
will learn: How trauma-informed care is different than trauma
treatment. The strength-based psychodramatic model, adapted for a high
level of safety and containment on multiple levels. Dealing with the
reluctant client. How to safely incorporate creative arts therapies in
trauma-informed care. Self-Care This program is suitable for mental
health professionals, educators, physical health professionals,
administrators, first responders, creative arts therapists,
alternative practitioners, midwives, youth leaders, human resources,
addiction professionals and others. Attending all four training
sessions will give participants the most complete educational
experience – as well as a resource manual, certificate of 24
continuing education credits and discount. There is also the option to
take the sessions according to interest and availability, but there
will be an additional $25 charge to purchase the resource manual.
Creating Safety and Connection: The Basics of Trauma-Informed Care 9
a.m. to 4 p.m. Jan. 31, 2020 (Snow date Feb. 7, 2020) When trauma
happens, trust and connection have been damaged. The survivor of
trauma is adrift in body, mind and spirit and struggles to find places
of protection and safety. The inclination is often to attempt to
“think” through the trauma or to suppress it, but neither choice
truly will create the shift into healing that is so greatly needed. In
addition, the possibility of re-traumatizing trauma survivors is real
because the nature of trauma lends itself to reenacting the trauma
long after the actual event has passed. The lasting effects of trauma
– insecure attachments, hyperarousal, persistent negative thoughts,
avoidance and re-experiencing symptoms – demand that professionals
of all kinds respond with the best practices for trauma-informed care
and support the repair of trust and relationship with self and others.
In this training workshop, instructed by Karen Carnabucci, LCSW, TEP,
and Sharon Czabafy, DSW, LCSW, CAADC, NCTTP, CET, MAC, we will employ
a variety of experiential activities from the Therapeutic Spiral Model
to demonstrate containment and safe relationship building. You will
learn: How trauma-informed care is different than trauma treatment.
The types of safety that are important to recognized and tended to
within a care setting. The connection between the Adverse Childhood
Experiences (ACEs) and the trauma experience. How attachment is
disrupted with trauma and how it can be re-established thorough
sociometry. The differences and similarities between personal,
cultural and social trauma. Prescriptive roles that can be concretized
to support healing and growth. As always, there will be the option to
address personal work through an action structure and to bring past or
present case consultations forward for commentary and supervision.
Creating Body Awareness: The Body Remembers what the Mind Forgets 9
a.m. to 4 p.m. April 17, 2020 Now that we understand that trauma is
stored in the body, we have a greater understanding of why traditional
talk therapy has its limitations. Dr. J.L. Moreno, the developer of
psychodrama, famously said, “The body remembers what the mind
forgets,” but it has taken many decades to understand exactly how
trauma lingers within the tissues of the body. With the rediscovery of
psychodrama and its related methods of sociometry, along with other
creative arts therapies, we now have many more tools to understand and
assist with the arc of trauma recovery. Because the brain is a living
organ with a great capacity for change, we can reshape the brain with
improvisational play, art and image making, and other experiential
modalities. In other words: when we have new and different
experiences, the brain responds. In this training workshop, instructed
by Karen Carnabucci, LCSW, TEP, and Sharon Czabafy, DSW, LCSW, CAADC,
NCTTP, CET, MAC, we focus the neurobiology of the brain and ways to
work with the body that support mental and emotional healing. You will
learn: The neurobiology of trauma and the importance of the vagus
nerve. How the body stories memories. The body-mind-spirit connection.
How to befriend the body through the psychodramatic technique of the
Body Double. How unresolved body pain can lead to substance abuse and
addiction. How body awareness can support physical and emotional
healing. As always, there will be the option to address personal work
through an action structure and to bring past or present case
consultations forward for commentary and supervision. Creating the
Bigger Picture: Addressing Ancestral Trauma 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. July 17,
2020 Recent advances in epigenetics and quantum physics show that we
inherit the effects of traumatic experiences that linger within our
bodies, minds and spirits. We can easily begin to believe that the
difficulties that we are experiencing – chronic anxiety, depression,
addiction, health problems, bad fortune and the like – are not only
our fault but also our destiny. However, new experiential methods,
most especially the approach of Bert Hellinger’s Family
Constellations, provide a proven route to address and resolve
ancestral trauma so that we may In this training workshop, instructed
by Karen Carnabucci, LCSW, TEP, and Sharon Czabafy, DSW, LCSW, CAADC,
NCTTP, CET, MAC, we look at practical ways to identify ancestral
trauma that has spilled on down the generations as well as how we can
use our empathic perception to identify the felt sense of unconscious
ancestry memory. You will learn: The reality of intergenerational
trauma. Family Constellations as an effective means to address
intergenerational trauma. How to discover ancestral trauma and family
entanglements. How to access the “field” of ancestral
consciousness. Transforming the legacy of ancestral pain Transforming
hate and disgust with our ancestors As always, there will be the
option to address personal work through an action structure and to
bring past or present case consultations forward for commentary and
supervision. Creating Possibilities: Post-Traumatic Growth as Reality
9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Oct. 16, 2020 The language-ing of trauma has moved
from “victim” to “survivor.” which is a positive change. This
change brings forward the concept that surviving trauma is an
important strength of self, a form of resiliency, and a person’s
support system. Post-Traumatic Growth refers to phenomenon of positive
transformation that is often experienced after a traumatic life event.
The role theory of psychodrama assists in identifying and rehearsing
roles that focus on autonomy, integration, and correction In this
training workshop, instructed by Karen Carnabucci, LCSW, TEP, and
Sharon Czabafy, DSW, LCSW, CAADC, NCTTP, CET, MAC, we focus on a way
of living beyond “just getting by” and how we as professionals, we
can guide our clients past trauma, support their process of trauma
treatment, if needed and into the experience of living life fully. You
will learn: The meaning of post-traumatic growth. How resilience is
connected and yet different from post-traumatic growth. How to
introduce the concepts of post-traumatic growth and reframe the
perceptions of survivors of trauma into a new belief system. The
importance of pacing and timing. Areas of life that are linked to
post-traumatic growth. Finding “meaning” in the trauma and moving
forward. As always, there will be the option to address personal work
through an action structure and to bring past or present case
consultations forward for commentary and supervision. Tuition Tuition
