Intuitively Informed Treatment for Trauma: The CORE Approach | 2.5 CEUs

Thursday, September 21 @ 12:00 - 2:30pm EST

Speaker: Bette Freedson, LCSW, LICSW, CGP

Virtual on Zoom

In this informative and experiential workshop participants will be introduced to the CORE schema, an innovative four-ingredient, integrative approach- Connect, Orient, Resource, Establish-- that can be applied in treating trauma. With didactics, case examples and creative exercises, participants will explore application of the wise guidance of intuition (of both clinician and client) for facilitating therapeutic attunement, bringing dissociated ego strengths into awareness, and empowering endurance of transformative shifts and adaptive reference experiences.

The CORE Approach is tailored to the specifics of each individual's personality, life experience and belief system, taking into account not only the situational clinical aspects of the trauma, but most importantly the ecological aspects of each person's race, gender, culture, etc as stated above. Best practices for healing and recovery can happen most effectively within this comprehensive perspective.

• Identify one feature of the CORE Model.

• Explain the concept of "tailoring" treatment to the client's ecological system.

• Describe one corrective aspect of an intuitive approach relative to the treatment of trauma.
