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 trauma-informed 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.
