Overview:
Growing up in an abusive and traumatic family can have lasting effects on emotional and psychological development, creating patterns of dysfunction and abuse that continue into adulthood.Â
This workshop, Kaytee Gillis, LCSW will provide clinicians with a framework for understanding the different characteristics and dynamics of traumatic family systems, as well as some of the common long- term impacts experienced by survivors of childhood family trauma. Participants will examine the common relational and psychological consequences of growing up in a traumatic family environment, including challenges with attachment, self-concept, and emotional regulation, and how these challenges impact relationships in adulthood.Â
The training will also introduce coping strategies and practical interventions that clinicians can use to support clients in their healing process, whether clients are just starting the process of healing or continuing their journey. Resources for continued support will be provided, with an emphasis on fostering resilience and helping survivors move toward recovery and healthier relationships.
Objectives:
- Describe the dysfunctional and abusive characteristics commonly found in traumatic family systems.
- Recognize and discuss the long-term emotional and psychological impacts of childhood family trauma on survivors, including psychological, attachment and relational impacts.
- Identify and implement at least three coping strategies or clinical interventions to support clients in healing and moving forward.
