Training - Therapeutic Processing of Trauma (NCPS Quality Checked)

Training - Therapeutic Processing & Integration of Trauma (NCPS Quality Checked)

Therapeutic processing and integration is part of Phase 2 and 3 of the 3-Phase Trauma Model (developed by Janet and later Herman). Processing trauma isn't suitable for all clients, and usually is only done when enough therapeutic, emotional and physical safety has been established. We will also explore when NOT to process, as well as briefly look at various models to process (depending on prior training of the therapist).

We will go through and practice with several key indicators to increase therapeutic safety when doing the potentially challenging work of processing, including:

• Titration
• Honouring the window of tolerance
• Incorporating safety techniques (when needed)
• Pendulation/ oscillation

We will also briefly practice with recognising resources that may naturally come up when processing and integrating trauma. Additionally, we will cover some of the basics of TF-CBT (Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioural Therapy), intrusive thoughts, and see how you might incorporate this into your practice. There will be some demonstrations of various ways of working, to shine a light on you might use the techniques.
