COURSE 2:  Working with Trauma Models

This training is a continuation from course 1 with the aim to advance participants with how to effectively implement trauma models into their practice so they can safely support clients with trauma.

The training will cover:

• Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT)

CBT comprises a symbiotic relationship between the four components of Thoughts, Emotions, Somatic responses, and Behaviours that occur in response to an activating or triggering event. You will learn the difference between prolonged exposure CBT, which involves first person recounting of the trauma event, and using the four components of pure CBT as separate resources to aid emotion regulation, and to challenge avoidance and negative thinking. 

• Trauma Tapping Technique (TTT)

Originally devised as a somatic approach to supporting psychological healing of child soldiers in Africa, TTT can be easilly adapted for any clinical setting. The approach can be practitioner-led in a one-to-one or group setting, and can also be taught to clients as a self-help tool. With a strong evidence base, this approach is simple and effective.

• Dialectic Behaviour Therapy (DBT)

Originally devised to support people with Borderline Personality Disorder, DBT comprises three components: Skills, Risk Diaries, and Behaviour Chain Analysis. You will be introduced to the four skill sets, Emotion Regulation, Mindfulness, Distress Tolerance, and Interpersonal Effectiveness. You will then learn how to develop a risk diary with a client, and how to engage in a Behaviour Chain Analysis. 
 
Supporting resources will be provided for each model.
