Aug. 23, 2025

10:00 AM - 1:15 PM (EST)

Virtual Event
3 CE Credits
Up to 70% of Americans experience trauma, impacting mood, emotions, and daily life. From personal struggles to global crises, trauma is everywhere—but so is healing. Learn how to harness innate recovery processes and integrate healing practices into therapy for lasting transformation.
Trauma is a very common experience, and it’s suggested that up to 70% of people living in the USA have struggled with trauma at some point in their lifetime. Symptoms of trauma can include avoidance, negative mood states, agitation, restlessness, emotional reactivity, dissociative symptoms, being incapable of acting, or being immobilized with fear or anxiety. Trauma can also be experienced in day-to-day life, such as climate change issues, discrimination, cultural challenges, and international crises. The good news, though, is that all humans are born pre-wired with a process for recovering from traumatic symptoms. You will be invited to consider ways in which your continued healing can inform ways to integrate these teachings and practices into the therapeutic container. Suggested practices for application into the therapeutic experience will be offered.

This live interactive webinar is designed for behavioral health professionals, including:

Counselors

Social Workers

Psychotherapists

Marriage & Family Therapists

Psychologists

Substance Use Disorders Counselors

Case Managers
