NEW TRAINING: Integrative Relational Trauma Therapy: A trauma Informed Expressive Arts Therapy and CBT Approach to the Treatment of Child Sexual Abuse

Overview:
This two day training will provide participants with a comprehensive framework to treat children and teens who have experienced child sexual abuse. This treatment approach is grounded in attachment theory, the psychophysiology of trauma, expressive arts therapy and CBT. This approach is guided by the belief that sexual abuse/ relational trauma is a sensory experience, not a disorder.

Integrative Relational Trauma Therapy is a 4 phase model of treatment including Assessment and Resource Building, Trauma Resolution, Cognitive and Affective Processing and Psycho-education/Claiming Strengths.

Training Objectives:

• provide a practical, structured framework that guides treatment to child sexual abuse
• integration of trauma informed expressive arts therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy
• learn structured, atrs-based, sensory interventions to effectively treat key trauma reactions which promote self-regulation
• learn to incorporate concepts of resilience and post-traumatic growth to support the movement from victim to survivor thinking
