Working with traumatized clients can activate even the most seasoned therapists.
Despite our best intentions, our reactions often leak into our work, affecting our clients in obvious or more subtle ways.
Overidentifying with our clients... emotionally checking out in session... hesitating to talk about trauma because it’s too much for us... These behaviors can lead to compromised care. What if there was a guide to responding to ourselves in a way that can mitigate negative impact on our clients AND promote our own sense of well-being?
Trauma-informed care can help. From how to manage personal trauma responses impacting the therapeutic alliance, to how best to do an intake, offer treatment options to clients, and document treatment - trauma-informed care is more than a buzzword – it’s a meaningful approach that can deepen your clinical work and support a more grounded, responsive experience of providing psychotherapy.
Watch Sacha McBain, PhD, and Heather Allen, LCSW, master trainers and consultants, as they walk you step by step through not just the principles, but how to actually implement trauma-informed care in practical ways. You’ll gain the confidence you need to:
