Training Title:
Trauma and Anxiety: Neurobiology and Best Practices

Clock Hours: 1

Objectives:
After completing this course, participants should be able to: • Know and understand the different kinds of trauma adults experience and effects on PTSD symptomology • Understand the difference between peritraumatic, acute traumatic, posttraumatic, and complex PTSD terminology and the traumatic states they represent • Recognize maladaptive coping strategies for trauma • Know how to assess and treat adult trauma • Understand how trauma-focused therapy is operationalized

Description:
This course is designed to explain how trauma and anxiety work in the neurobiology of the brain in easy to understand terminology and also explore best practices for treatment in order to help clinicians in the field improve treatment outcomes. The course makes clear the two major ways in which the brain creates and processed anxiety and trauma and best treatment approaches. The information can also be used by clinicians to provide psychoeducation for clients in order to demystify trauma and anxiety and explain why the best practice treatments are effective ways that make sense to the average client. Demystifying the neurobiology helps conceptualizing and treatment planning be more effective for both clinician and client.
