In this course, we will practice elevating the dialogue around trauma to shift the perspective away from a reactive approach to a responsive approach when working with highly traumatized individuals. Weโ€™ll discuss how your clientsโ€™ physical responses are ingrained in how they react to and perceive the world and explore resiliency and discuss ways to build client empowerment and coping strategies.
