Description

Despite trauma being a buzz word, it is important to understand what it means and the subjective experience of it. Ever wonder if “that thing” was traumatizing? Or if “that one person” responded the way they did because of trauma? Or why you can't sleep after a big event?  Answers to these questions are just a click away.  Join the instructor in this training to understand trauma in a simple way that is both memorable and engaging.  In this training, the instructor will provide both ways to categorize trauma and a clear and concise definition of trauma and help learners to gain a basic understanding of the neurological and behavioral responses that result from a survival system.  In addition, learner will understand different self-protective responses, which include fight, flight, freeze, and collapse.  Ever wonder why you sometimes say things you later regret in an argument with someone you care about?  The instructor will explain how these self-protective responses show up practically in daily life as well as  the behavioral response that might be expected from each of these, such as why we say things we regret later.  In addition, she will explain the behavioral responses of self protective defenses in a immediate risk. 

Who this course is for:

  • This course is for those who are desiring to work in a trauma-informed environment, including group home staff, teachers, medical providers, foster parents, first responders, and mental health providers.
