Trauma Course Description: 

Trauma-informed ethical therapist recognizes:

• The widespread impact of trauma
• Understands potential paths for recovery
• Signs and symptoms of trauma in your clients
• Actively seeks to resist and refrain from re-traumatization

If your client has ever experienced touch to be forbidden, abusive, laced with malevolence or manipulation; they may not have developed a strong sense of self or safety, or an appreciation for healthy therapeutic boundaries of safe touch. This makes body work a very uncomfortable idea to get on board with and can also be the reason it is unsuccessful.  Trauma Awareness and Sensitivity (TAS) course offers techniques and ethics education that a manual therapist can utilize. It will demonstrate to the client close attention, acknowledgment and respect so that the client will come to trust the process. This will help the client acquaint or re-acquaint themselves with normal body signals and make your body work sessions more successful.

Students will:

• Increase their knowledge base, sensitivity, and awareness of trauma survivors and unique issues faced by the LGBTQAI+ community.
• Learn integrate -able techniques that facilitate healing in those that have been injured by emotional trauma.
• Apply best business practices that facilitate safe and equal access to all.
