Trauma Recovery for Children, Adolescents from Edward C. Caslin
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.

- Developmental, psychological and neuro-biological lens
- High-risk, pre-cognitive, episodic, recurrent
- Triune Brain Model – lobes of the brain
- Re-traumatization and hyper-arousal
- Sensitized brain and conditioned cues
- Bodily reactions and biological changes
- Attachment, embodiment, self-regulation and resilience
- Interoception – “gut instinct” – intuitiveness
Mindfulness Techniques to Repair the Brain
- Rewire the brain’s hard drive
- Neuro-Integration and Neuroplasticity
- Rapport, hope and compassion
- Interoception: connecting / listening to the “I” within the body
- Tuning In: present moment awareness
- Focusing: mastery of maintaining and shifting attention
- Self-regulation: embodiment, control, safety and choice to live
Mindfulness Techniques to Repair the Body
- Breathing: our body anchor
- Embodiment: movement with purpose

Ultimate Trauma Recovery
- Relaxation: to soothe the Autonomic Nervous System (ANS)
- Kindness: nurturing compassion for self and others
Description:
- Signs to look for– microfacial gestures and subtle body cues
- Physiological relief from trauma hyper-arousal
- Decrease – frontal lobe activity, cortisol production, anxiety/ worry thinking
Child and adolescent victims of trauma, single episode or recurrent, are struggling to survive devastating and quite often unthinkable horrific experiences. Our goal is to insure that we prevent re-traumatization and hyper-arousal by employing time-proven and research driven effective therapeutic strategies.
Join Edward Caslin, LCSW, as he shares his clinical expertise in working with kids, both urban and suburban, facing single and recurrent traumas from:
- PTSD
- Physical/emotional/domestic violence
- Separation/divorce
- Suicidal ideation
- Harassment/bullying
- Shootings/bodily harm
- Homelessness
- Perpetuated messages of over-achievement & performance
He will show you how to treat kids to recognize their physiological responses to everyday triggers without re-activating their trauma arousal response to such stimuli through body focused mindfulness techniques. You will learn how to best help kids develop the necessary self-employed coping skills to contend with current and future situations. Kids will learn to choose to respond, not react, to daily trauma arousal stimuli and triggers through:
- Relaxation breathing
- Yoga
- Deep breathing
- Tai Chi
- Guided Imagery meditation
- Chi Gong
- Individual meditation
- Aerobic body movement
- Fun, simplistic activities and games
This course provides clinicians a change in assessment perspective validating adoption of time proven alternative approaches for expedient and effective trauma treatment of kids!!
