This is another virtual training I will be doing for Chestnut Farm in Jersey. I bet people could sign up to watch virtually if you ask them nicely.

Workshop Summary

Mike Tyson famously quipped, “Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth.” This pearl of wisdom applies to life far beyond the ring. In clinical practice, it shows up when the practitioner is working at the edge of their competence with a client who presents with the most challenging issues. While there truly is no easy solution to this dilemma, this presentation discusses trauma-informed strategies that help increase the odds of a successful outcome. We will discuss the neurobiological ways in which stress and trauma impact our ability to think clearly versus reactively and then review the following resilience factors: safety, support, acceptance, awareness, purpose and deliberate practice.
