PS5304 Trauma Counseling
Students engage in exploration and application of trauma-competent care for individuals, couples and families. Neurological aspects of trauma symptoms and impact are addressed, as well as current best practices in treatment inclusive of mind, body and spirit modalities. Trauma is conceptualized from the macro (war, refugee migration patterns, climate change, poverty, disease) to the micro (domestic violence, emotional/psychological/physical/sexual abuse). The impact of multiple and trans-generational trauma are addressed, as well as self-care practices for the counseling professional working with those experiencing trauma.
