CBT & Exposure Therapy for Trauma: A Comprehensive Overview for Clinicians & Helping Professionals
Denise Delph
The purpose of this course is to provide an orientation & framework for clinicians who are interested in finding a cohesive way to integrate Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) and Exposure Therapy into their practice with clients who have experienced trauma. Additionally, it provides as a “refresher” for those who are already well versed in trauma therapy, as well as providing clients loved ones and collaborating clinician.
Exposure to traumatic life events (such as: 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 Workshop 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. The Presenter will also engage with participants around how to frame these interventions when working with traumatized clients.
