It will review barriers often faced with effective and appropriate treatment of trauma as well as interventions to these barriers. The session will overview various treatment interventions, including an introduction to Internal Family Systems, that can be utilized in the counseling experience. It will provide an overview of the biopsychosocial effects of trauma. The goal of this session is to create awareness and interventions for the treatment of clients suffering from symptoms related to traumatic experiences.
