Description

The neurosequential model of therapeutics (Perry, 2006) offers a comprehensive and useful means for understanding how the human brain responds to stress and trauma. When applied to counseling trainees and supervisors through an isomorphic lens, it offers an additional tool clinical supervisors can use to help assess supervisees’ needs and respond accordingly, while also teaching supervisees to assess their clients’ needs and respond accordingly. In this interactive workshop, Drs. Woodliff and Ross will discuss their application of this model with master’s-level counseling trainees at both the pre- and post-graduate levels.

What You Will Learn

Upon successful completion of this activity, attendees will:

Understand the core elements of brain development and trauma/fear response as it applies to the supervision of counseling trainees.
Apply knowledge of neurobiological functioning and trauma/fear response to their supervision work through self-reflection, identification of key markers, and discussion of interventions for self and trainee. .
Develop their own toolbox of responses and interventions for clinical supervision based on their understanding of neurobiological functioning and trauma/fear responses experienced by both supervisors and supervisees.
