Trauma-Informed Care: Empowering Clients to Overcome Self-Destruction with Compassionate Strategies
Lisa Ferentz
- Live Webinar
Thursday, January 25th
1:30-4:45 PM EST
Overview:
Given the dramatic uptick in self-destructive behaviors, it’s important for clinicians to effectively and confidently know how to work with them.
Participants will learn how acts of self-harm are attempts to communicate trauma and pain narratives as well as cope with them, self-soothe, and sometimes numb out the unresolved emotional pain, and the negative, distorted thoughts that can overwhelm and de-stabilize.
We will explore both the secure and insecure dynamics of early childhood attachment, and process how the insecure attachment pattern a child is given connects to their inability to regulate their emotions and makes them vulnerable to using self-harm in adolescence and adulthood.
Participants will learn how to take a strengths-based, de-pathologized approach to treating self-harm, incorporate psycho-education, and teach clients a specific cycle of self-harm that shows them the role that triggers, anxiety, negative thoughts and feelings, and dissociation play.
We will also discuss why standard safety contracts don’t work and then learn about CARESS, a treatment model that gives clients alternatives when they get the impulse to hurt themselves. These creative interventions help clients accomplish what self-harm does without evoking guilt, shame, or further injury to the body.
Objectives:
- Identify the four potential attachment patterns in parent-child development and the impact they have on affect regulation versus affect dysregulation.
- Describe the developmental milestones and challenges of adolescence and explain the unique aspects of the adolescent brain and its vulnerability to self-destructive behaviors.
- Identify at least five reasons why teens and adults engage in self-destructive behaviors.
- Describe at least five benefits to the strengths-based perspective when treating acts of self-harm.
- Describe a chronic cycle of self-harm and the ways in which triggering events, negative cognitions and affect, dissociation, and anxiety influence the process.
- Implement CARESS, an alternative to standard safety contracts, and implement at least 3 creative strategies that help re-ground and re-establish a sense of safety in triggered trauma survivors.
