10:00 AM - 12:00 PM EST
When it comes to effective trauma treatment, adhering to certain principles can make a profound difference in outcomes. The most important aspect of positive trauma treatment involves creating a safe and supportive environment where individuals feel heard and validated. The genuine relationship is crucial. Therapists must prioritize empathy and understanding, allowing survivors to process their experiences at their own pace.
Using evidence-based therapies eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) and internal family systems (IFS) can be instrumental in helping individuals reframe their traumatic memories and build resilience. On the contrary, poorly executed trauma treatment can exacerbate symptoms and re-traumatize individuals, leading to prolonged distress and distrust of future therapeutic interventions. Therefore, a nuanced and compassionate approach is crucial in fostering healing and positive change in trauma survivors' lives.

He maintains a private practice, integrating EMDR, IFS, and Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, focusing on treating adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse.

This training session, Counseling Black Women, focuses on helping mental health professionals develop culturally humble strategies for working with Black women. The session begins with an introduction to the concept of cultural humility and a discussion of attendees' initial thoughts and expectations for the training. Participants will explore common challenges Black women face, such as navigating societal pressures and stereotypes, and discuss how these issues influence mental health. Attendees will engage in reflective exercises designed to increase self-awareness, particularly regarding power and privilege in the therapeutic relationship.
Through group discussions and interactive activities, the session aims to equip participants with the tools necessary to provide culturally responsive care that honors the unique lived experiences of Black women. The training concludes with a review of key takeaways and how participants can apply these insights to their future counseling work.
