What Happens in Your Brain and Your Body when you perceive a threat?
Did you know that the way the brain and the body respond to trauma is universal?
Wouldn’t it be helpful to be able to identify when a neurobiological response has been triggered in your patient, so you can better match your intervention approach in that moment?
Attendees will gain a foundational understanding of this neurobiological response that will enable them to become more effective in their clinical sessions.
Participants should be able to:
· Provide basic information on brain circuits that are important to know for this topic
· Explain what happens in the brain and body during a traumatic event or when someone is triggered
· Apply that information to understanding how what we see from clients – emotional and behavioral responses – reflects the neurobiology of trauma
This workshop is virtual. All attendees will receive a Zoom link the night before the workshop.
Students may email crampconsulting@gmail.com for a 50% discount code. No CEs will be given.
