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. Traum-informed care is an approach
to care that understands the prevalence of trauma and 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 training series explores trauma–informed care, combining
up-to-date trauma information with the safe application of
experiential and creative arts psychotherapies and activities,
including psychodrama, sociometry, Family Constellations, art making
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 as a route to more
effectively work with others. This program is suitable for mental
health professionals, educators, physicians, nurses, health care
administrators, first responders, creative arts therapists,
alternative practitioners, midwives, clergy, youth leaders, human
resources, addiction professionals and others. Attending all four
training sessions will give participants the most complete educational
experience – as well as plentiful handouts, a certificate of 24
continuing education credits for social workers, marriage and family
therapists, licensed professional counselors, plus psychodrama hours.
CE credits for psychologists are pending. There is also the option to
take indvidual sessions according to interest and availability of
space, but they will not be able to take advantage of the
whole-series disocunt. 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, modified from classical
psychodrama, 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 method 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 and relapse, 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 key component to 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 and repair. 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
