 Course Overview 

 

Repeated trauma in adult life erodes a personality already formed, but repeated trauma in childhood forms and deforms the personality (Herman, 1997). “The child trapped in an abusive environment must find a way to preserve a sense of trust in people who are untrustworthy, safety in a situation that is unsafe, control in a situation that is terrifyingly and unpredictable; power in a situation of helplessness.” (Herman, 1997, 96).

During the course you review theories and methods for helping and healing childhood trauma that are research supported. You gain skills using therapeutic art and guided visualization as healing modalities. You incorporate the use of the elements and the theories and practices of mental health nursing, developmental, spiritual, and counseling psychologies.

 

 Accreditation  

Accreditation for the Certified Childhood Trauma Counselor Course is provided by the Canadian Council of Professional Certifications (CCPC Global).

 

Goals 

 

The primary goal of the Certified Childhood Trauma Counselor Certification Course is that you gain the knowledge and skills necessary to work in a more wholistic way with those who have experienced childhood trauma and are struggling with boundary and power imbalance issue that result from their traumatic experiences.

Because a counselor can bring another only as far along the healing process as the counselor has been, a second goal of the course is the facilitation of personal healing experiences for each participant.

Together these goals allow you to embark on a journey of personal and professional growth.
