Embracing a Trauma-Based Approach (Part 1) with Dr. Jo Sheedy and Celia Bolton

Overview

In this session, participants will develop an awareness of how developmental experiences and trauma negatively impact the body’s ability to regulate itself and its response to stress.  Participants will learn to assess the implicit and explicit impact of trauma, learn to competently hold space for the complexity and uncertainty of trauma experiences, and learn to perform truly biopsychosocial assessments.
