Addressing Trauma in Supervision
|
Course Description
Supervisors face unique challenges when supervising trauma cases, including the need to help supervisees identify and address vicarious traumatization (VT). VT is the negative transformation of a therapist's sense of safety and hope due to exposure to clients' traumatic life stories. VT can harm client care by causing the therapist to lose hope, to engage in negative reenactments or to become indifferent. Through didactic information and case vignettes, participants will learn how to identify and address VT.
This course meets the BBS & BOP requirements for those who supervise psychologists, MFT interns and ASWs.
