Description

Your clients with medical trauma know that a health crisis can upend life at any moment.

And they know that crisis doesn’t end when the physical body is stabilized.

The impacts of medical trauma are as broad as they are misunderstood. Many mental health problems can arise from experiences like heart attack, stroke, intubation and mechanical ventilation, emergency Caesarean section, allergic reaction, seizure, accident-related amputation, cancer diagnosis, and more.

While some clients may have entered your practice with the unique presentation of PTSD that results from medical trauma, many more have likely come to you for help with other clinical issues that could be fueled by a past health crisis. Think of the client with depression who also has a history of heart failure. Or the client with social anxiety whose irritable bowel disease is listed on your intake form but never gets discussed. Or the client with dependency issues in their relationships who harbors a deeply entrenched sense of fragility related to a congenital illness.

Join medical trauma expert Dr. Sacha McBain for this one-day training that will help you understand the interconnectedness of the mind and body. You will learn to:

  • conduct assessments that elucidate the mental health impacts of your clients’ health histories
  • develop trauma-informed case formulations that integrate health and rehabilitation psychology principles into evidence-based treatments
  • support your clients’ mental and physical health by giving them the skills they need to maintain treatment adherence and engage in effective medical self-advocacy

Your clients with medical trauma have associated treatment with danger. Register today to provide them with a trauma-informed approach to promote physical and psychological recovery!
