Developing Safer Trauma Informed Practice

What's In It For Me

Specifically this workshop will:

  • Provide participants with an opportunity to expand their knowledge and understanding in relation to trauma.
  • Explore and stress the importance of ensuring that stability is maintained as a core foundation when working with clients who have suffered trauma.
  • Help clinicians determine if it is relevant and safe to proceed with processing memory in order to support recovery from trauma


Course Overview

Developing safer trauma informed practice offers a guide towards the goal of trauma recovery for the individuals you seek to assist. To achieve this, therapists, need also to ensure that they have a personal level of stablization, health and resources to remain safe and regulated. As Babette said “There should always be one person during therapy regulated at all times!” And you guessed it… it is you!


This two days workshop, which is based on the work of Babette Rothschild will explore the theory of trauma, and tackle critical and key issues in recovering from trauma.


The theory, tools and techniques presented in this workshop are easily integrated across the widest range of treatment modalities including CBT, EMDR, SE and more.  



Who Should Attend

This training is ideal for helping professionals and emergency workers who provide front line services to support people who have experienced trauma. This includes counsellors, social workers, psychotherapists, counselling and psychotherapy students, individuals working in caring professions e.g pastoral workers.
