OVERVIEW:

Trauma has a heavy presence in counseling settings, and it is salient to find effective and efficient ways to help clients heal. As mental health professionals, it is our responsibility to not only work on our traumas but also help our clients identify their traumas and guide them on their healing journey. Individual trauma is an event or circumstance resulting in physical, emotional, and/or life-threatening harm. The event or circumstance has lasting adverse effects on the individual’s mental health, physical health, emotional health, social well-being, and/or spiritual well-being.

Attachment trauma is one type of trauma that begins in childhood and can shift as individuals form other relationships. For clients to have healthy and meaningful relationships with themselves and others, and understand how they are showing up in those relationships, they must be aware of their attachment styles and heal the wounds creating insecurities within them.

Integrating various cross-cultural techniques, such as trauma-informed narrative and mindfulness, allows clients to process trauma symptoms in the body, regulate their nervous system, and regulate their emotions, thoughts, and behaviors while effectively meeting the needs of marginalized populations. This presentation will guide you in using specific tools to help increase your client’s awareness of their attachment traumas and insecurities, reduce reactiveness and negative cycles within relationships, and have more self-confidence and self-love.

OBJECTIVES:

By attending this training, you will be able to:

• Identify attachment formation, style, and trauma.
• Discuss the concept of attachment wounds and inner child healing.
• Examine physiological responses and triggers to attachment trauma.
• Analyze the relationship between core beliefs formed from attachment trauma and unhealthy relationship cycles.
• Apply mindfulness strategies to provide grounding and help clients address their triggers within personal relationships.
• Apply trauma-informed narrative to reduce reactiveness and increase self-confidence, strength, and resilience.
