Trauma in the Mind’s Eye: Mitigating and eliminating intrusive thoughts, flashbacks and nightmares
Live webinar September 14, 2020
Natalie Zlodre, MSW., RSW.
This training is suitable for: experienced counselors who provide short-term counselling contact with vulnerable populations in community-based settings.
Description: Traumatic experiences that are frozen, stuck and unprocessed have the potential to exacerbate and generalize stress reactions. We will review the neurobiology of stress on memory systems and cognitive distortions that sear trauma responses in the nervous system. Some memories are based on fear, helplessness, and horror, and other memories are fortified by cognitive stuck points. This session will focus on clients who are preoccupied with single traumatic incidents.
Learning Objectives:
- How fear hijacks cognition
- Why people do what they do when they are overwhelmed (fight, flight, freeze, fawn)
- How people get ‘stuck’ and how to get them ‘unstuck’
- Effective interventions that target source traumatic memories
- Three techniques for processing ‘horror’
- How to process five cognitive ‘stuck points’ (embedded child narratives, absorption of perpetrator messages, guilt, shame, cultural/religious beliefs).
- Have an overview of what effective evidence-based treatments (CBT, CPT, PET, IRRT) work best for source stuck points.
Please note; Natalie will be showing explicit video images of trauma reactions (popular film and clinical tapes).
