Advanced Trauma Treatment for Children and Adolescents – BESSEL A VAN DER KOLK (Online Course)
Description:
When trauma stays trapped in a child’s body they feel overwhelmed.
They don’t sleep. They’re anxious, depressed, failing in school, angry and socially isolated…
…They are completely vulnerable.
And they can’t describe what’s going on inside them. They simply don’t have the words and language to TELL you.
Traditional therapies can’t help them. To end their suffering, you have to turn to their natural language: Play.
Through play, children expose their trauma, formulate their narrative and begin to heal.
And now, with this powerful online training, you can learn how to integrate play therapy with the core components of the leading evidence-based trauma treatments like EMDR, Trauma Focused CBT, and more.
Packed full of tools, strategies and techniques you can effortlessly blend into your clinical practice, this unique certification course will show you step-by-step how you can help treat unspeakable heartache.
Don’t wait, register today to unlock a powerful approach that can help your clients achieve lasting results and offer them hope through the power of play.

More information about Medical:
Medicine is the science and practice of establishing the diagnosis, prognosis, treatment, and prevention of disease.
Medicine encompasses a variety of health care practices evolved to maintain and restore health by the prevention and treatment of illness.
Contemporary medicine applies biomedical sciences, biomedical research, genetics, and medical technology to diagnose, treat, and prevent injury and disease,
typically through pharmaceuticals or surgery, but also through therapies as diverse as psychotherapy, external splints and traction, medical devices, biologics, and ionizing radiation, amongst others.
Medicine has been around for thousands of years, during most of which it was an art (an area of skill and knowledge) frequently having connections to the religious and philosophical beliefs of local culture.
For example, a medicine man would apply herbs and say prayers for healing, or an ancient philosopher and physician would apply bloodletting according to the theories of humorism.
In recent centuries, since the advent of modern science, most medicine has become a combination of art and science (both basic and applied, under the umbrella of medical science).
While stitching technique for sutures is an art learned through practice.
The knowledge of what happens at the cellular and molecular level in the tissues being stitched arises through science.
