Trauma often disrupts a client’s sense of meaning, identity, and personal values. This workshop explores ethically appropriate ways to support meaning-making and identity integration in trauma recovery without imposing counselor beliefs or values. Participants will examine clinical strategies for facilitating values-consistent healing while maintaining ethical neutrality and cultural sensitivity. Emphasis is placed on supporting client autonomy, identity exploration, and resilience within trauma-informed treatment.

  1. Identify ethical considerations when addressing meaning, values, and identity in trauma treatment.

  2. Apply counseling strategies that support client-driven meaning-making.
