Use this PTSD Treatment Plan in Your Counseling Practice

Cognitive tools, PTSD Coping skills, and Treatment plan to help your client manage trauma and PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder)

A Powerful Approach to Begin Your Client's Recovery

The goal of this course is to offer you options for moving forward. Methods and techniques from all of these evidence-based psychotherapies are brought together into one course as a way of allowing you to explore a variety of methods you might find helpful in your journey toward recovery.

If you’ve experienced a traumatic event, you may feel a wide range of emotions, such as anxiety, anger, fear, and depression. The truth is that there is no right or wrong way to react to trauma; but there are ways that you can heal from your experience, and uncover your own capacity for resilience, growth, and recovery.

It is important to understand that life-threatening, traumatic events are sadly common—but that surviving and thriving is possible. Exploring ways to deal with your symptoms is the first step in healing from trauma. This course is meant to help you in the journey of exploration and healing. You can use it on your own or in sessions with your therapist.

Overcoming Trauma and PTSD offers proven-effective treatments based on acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT), and cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) to help you overcome both the physical and emotional symptoms of trauma and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). This course will help you find relief from painful flashbacks, insomnia, or other symptoms you might be experiencing. Also included are worksheets, checklists, and exercises to help you start feeling better and begin your journey on the road to recovery.

Overview of the course

This course is divided into three parts, each with several lectures.

• • Part 1 will help you understand what traumatic events are, and will also give you an overview of common psychological and physical reactions to experiencing trauma.

• • Part 2 goes into the specifics of how to manage the symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). You do not have to have all of the symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder to benefit from the exercises found here. This part of the course contains many exercises, which have been divided up by the type of symptoms you are experiencing. Your symptoms may include painful flashbacks and difficult memories about a traumatic event or events; a pattern of avoiding trauma-related situations and triggers; and a sense of being overwhelmed by or having difficulty with emotions and relationships.

• • Part 3 discusses ways to get more professional help if you need it. It also explores ways to get more support and take care of your physical health, particularly after you have had some relief from your current symptoms.

• Part 4 will help you use your trauma as a primary source of self-knowledge and personal growth. I’ve heard somewhere a trauma survivor said, “Why to waste this traumatic experience on just getting back to who I was?” This question captures PTSD growth or PTG. This term was coined in the early 1990s with the basic concept that positive personal transformation can occur in the aftermath of trauma. This course is designed for those who wish to go beyond being resilient, to experience meaningful personal growth and perhaps radical transformation in the aftermath of a trauma. I will give you the tools to thrive, grow, and transform yourself.
