Abstract

Trauma can often be under-diagnosed and left untreated. Many of the clients coming in to treatment have some traumatic experiences. Complications arise when multiple disorders that are related to or stem from trauma, are left untreated. Trauma symptoms are often hidden under the top five parity diagnoses that clients come in for, and their trauma has not been treated. Gaining the knowledge of trauma-related symptoms and diagnoses that are often overlooked will better equip the clinician to: work with a more extensive milieu of clients and diagnoses; find the trauma in their clients’ symptoms; treat trauma and see better outcomes in their clients. This presentation will provide a deeper grasp on the concept and disorder of trauma and how that impacts all other disorders. Learn tools to build a more intimate relationship with clients allowing deeper work. Learn effective methods for accessing and promoting the release of the blocked emotions associated with trauma.
