What Happens in Your Brain and Your Body when you perceive a threat?
Did you know that the way the brain and the body respond to trauma is universal?
Wouldn’t it be helpful to be able to identify when a neurobiological response has been triggered in your patient, so you can better match your intervention approach in that moment?
Attendees will gain a foundational understanding of this neurobiological response that will enable them to become more effective in their clinical sessions.
Participants should be able to:
· Provide basic information on brain circuits that are important to know for this topic
· Explain what happens in the brain and body during a traumatic event or when someone is triggered
· Apply that information to understanding how what we see from clients – emotional and behavioral responses – reflects the neurobiology of trauma
This workshop is virtual. All attendees will receive a Zoom link the night before the workshop.
Students may email crampconsulting@gmail.com for a 50% discount code. No CEs will be given.
Presenter: Elizabeth Bartlett began her journey of serving others in working with youth at non-profit organizations in Georgia and Florida. She then moved to Mexico where she worked in education and volunteering as a helper at non-profit organizations serving marginalized populations, many of whom were victims of complex trauma. While in Mexico, she began using mindfulness meditation to facilitate progression through stages of change and emotional recovery for female victims of intimate partner/domestic violence and sexual assault. Her experience working with marginalized populations suffering complex trauma ignited a strong desire to continue her academic studies and further understand how to better assist multicultural populations.
Elizabeth’s experiences working with marginalized populations both Stateside and in Mexico convinced her of the importance of engaging others with a trauma-informed awareness, and her ability to converse fluently in Spanish has allowed her to offer a culturally sensitive approach to treating trauma symptoms in her local Hispanic community.
Elizabeth graduated with a master’s in clinical Mental Health Counseling from Adams State University in 2022. She is trained in and practices EMDR regularly with her clients. She worked under the Supervision of Dr. Sherie Hawkins at Hope Springs Counseling for several years and is now a Licensed Professional Counselor within the practice.
