Relational Safety in Trauma (NCPS Quality Checked Training)

Training - Relational Safety in Trauma

As mental health and clinical professionals we may be aware of some of the theory related to safe trauma therapy (such as the 3-phase trauma model or polyvagal theory), but it doesn't necessarily give us the tools to actually increase safety in the therapeutic room with clients. This training day aims to do just that.

We will cover a host of safety techniques, including:

* Using an anchor

* Window of tolerance

* Tapping

* Grounding Techniques

* Dual awareness

* Flashback Halting Protocol & Nightmare Protocol (with a brief reference to the Dream Completion Technique)

And much more!

We will also cover more complex trauma presentations, such as moral injury and dissociation, as safety techniques work slightly differently with these presentations. This training is experiential in nature. This means you will have the chance to discuss and practice with some of the things we will be covering.

Who is this training for:

The training is suitable for both student and qualified counsellors, psychotherapists, social workers, psychologists, support workers, GP's, psychiatrists, hypnotherapists, as well as any other mental health professional who works with trauma or wants to work with traumatised clients.

This Training Day can be taken on its own, or as the 2nd CPD-Training day as part of the NCPS Quality Checked 10-day Foundation Diploma - Therapeutic Safety in Trauma. It is taught face-to-face in Southend-on-Sea.
