Presented by Craig Strickland, Ph.D. and Winden Rowe, MS
This workshop is designed to present material regarding the impact of traumatic exposure on the human nervous system and how to apply this research in a clinical setting. More specifically, there are several components to this workshop. First, research relating to the biological impact of traumatic exposure will be presented. Second, material will be presented which focuses on the relationship between traumatic exposure and the nervous system. Third, the presented research will be translated into a language that clinicians can comfortably share with their clients. Finally, specific clinical strategies and techniques based on altered biology will be discussed with the workshop participants.
Learning Objectives
Participants will be able to:
Summarize the key components of the nervous system affected by traumatic exposure
Describe the key biological outcomes of traumatic exposure in “user-friendly” language
Summarize and apply the importance of “bottom-up” treatment in clinical settings
Recommend clinical interventions and strategies based on neurological changes that occur as a result of traumatic events or as a result of non-trauma related psychiatric diagnoses
