Description

After decades of treating traumatic stress, we have learned that effective treatment can be simple… but it’s not easy.

Studies indicate that there are four key elements to effective trauma treatment. When you accomplish these four key elements in treatment with your clients, you will be able to reduce their symptoms and improve clinical outcomes. Attend this workshop and you will walk away with a step-by-step four-stage framework for navigating essential elements of trauma treatment with your traumatised clients.

The essential elements are common to all evidence-based trauma treatments, you will learn how you can integrate this framework with your current approach or methodology to improve how you treat trauma. Watch J. Eric Gentry, PhD, LMHC, DAAETS, FAAETS, CCTP as he shows you how this trauma competency training can give you tools and techniques for your clinical practice and help improve your trauma treatment outcomes, just as he has for other clinicians around the world.
