Cognitive Behavioral & Exposure Therapy for Trauma (Children & Adolescents: A Comprehensive Overview for Clinicians, Caregivers & Other Helping Professionals)
Exposure to traumatic life events such as: a global pandemic, child abuse, domestic violence, natural disasters, war, etc. can lead to the development of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). When left untreated, PTSD sufferers experience life-interfering symptoms and consequences such as severe depression, isolation, substance abuse and significant impulse control and anger problems. CBT and Exposure Therapy have been proven to improve symptoms of PTSD, Depression and Anxiety in children and adolescents. The use of CBT & Exposure Therapy is effective in helping clients remember traumatic experiences without becoming overwhelmed by painful, intrusive and disruptive symptoms. This course outlines the core principles of Cognitive Behavioral & Exposure Therapy (CBT). Participants will be provided with time and support to practice elements of each component including gradual exposure, assessment, psychoeducation, relaxation, emotional regulation, and challenging cognitive distortions. Participants will also practice how to frame these interventions when working with traumatized clients.
