PTSD and C-PTSD: Understanding trauma CPD
This CPD will give you an understanding of what PTSD and C-PTSD are, the symptoms and how they impact the survivor and their families, and how we can help as solution-focused hypnotherapists.
PTSD and C-PTSD (complex PTSD) are present more and more within therapy sessions which can be daunting to deal with, understanding that they are more than flashbacks and panic attacks. Being able to recognise and have knowledge of the symptoms and how they can impact our clients and their families, will empower our client work.
As therapists, we can give our clients back their power and the ability to move on from trauma. This full-day CPD will give you an understanding of what PTSD and C-PTSD are, the symptoms and how they impact the survivor and their families and how to help your client move from victim to survivor.

The knowledge you will acquire in this CPD will give you an understanding of PTSD and C-PTSD, the symptoms and how they impact clients. Only doctors can diagnose PTSD or C-PTSD, but you will be able to recognise the symptoms, signpost clients to their GP if required and wanted, and help you support client-based work.
You will also be able to explain the benefits of the solution-focused approach when dealing with trauma, and how repeatedly talking about trauma can re-traumatise your clients and strengthen their memories and behavioural patterns. You will know how to use the solution-focused approach and gain the techniques to pass on to your clients to help them manage symptoms and regain control of their lives.
