Based on the ground-breaking work of psychiatrist, author, and educator Bessel van der Kolk, who has been at the forefront of research in the area of post-traumatic stress since the 1970s. Dr van der Kolk has spent his career studying how children and adults adapt to traumatic experiences and have interpreted his findings into his book; The Body Keeps the Score. Students will explore what PTSD is, how it is recorded in the brain, and how it affects the development of the cells. You will also discover very effective ways to support your clients to move beyond PTSD into self-empowerment and improved mental, emotional, and physical health.
