About this event
This event is appropriate for licensed mental health clinicians (Psychologists, Licensed Professional Counselors and Social Workers) as well as psychology graduate students. Traumatic experiences can result in both short-term and long-term physiological changes to a person’s central and peripheral nervous systems. These physiological responses to trauma contribute to how people interpret their own reactions to trauma, how they respond to future traumatic and non-traumatic situations, and how they respond to therapeutic interventions. In this workshop, the presenters will provide a review of select central and peripheral nervous systems structures and functions as well as how they are related to short-term and long-term reactions to trauma. In addition, the presenters will describe the therapeutic interventions of Trauma-Focused Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) and Eye-Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR). Finally, the presenters will identify the ways in which these therapeutic interventions address physiological components of the trauma response to better facilitate improved functioning in our clients. Presenters: Julie V. Battle, Ph.D. and Tanya Acosta, LPC
