This two day trauma informed psychotherapy training will provide practising therapists with a detailed understanding of how to work effectively with the various types of trauma we see in the therapy room and onsite at critical incidents.

We will learn experientially as well as didactically, using the group as a community to gain knowledge and understanding from our experiences with clients, training and our own trauma stories. Theoretical lenses on the subject will include Gestalt, Transactional Analysis, Person-Centred, Adlerian, CBT and Jungian perspectives.

You will learn a range of practical CBT-based and other techniques and approaches which will enable you to work effectively with clients who have experienced trauma. The range of traumatic experiences, from single-incident and multiple trauma to severe and prolonged, developmental, external event-based and everyday trauma and will include protocols for working with PTSD and complex PTSD including assessment and diagnosis. 

Everyday trauma includes looking at trauma through an intersectional lens and explores power, discrimination, grief, heartbreak and oppression.

The course is based on the New Haven competencies of trauma and will be taught using a range of neuroscience and evidence-based teaching and learning methods.

These competencies were developed by a group of international experts on trauma as a means of identifying best practice and have subsequently been adopted by the American Psychological Association.
