This 3 CE online course highlights constructive treatment approaches for clients with PTSD and strategies to bolster resilience in traumatized clients. The course explains various elements of resiliency and how integrating narrative stories can help individuals navigate the negative emotional of painful memories and embed the tragic events into a larger more empowered biographical narrative. The course provides examples of how to use the “art of questioning” and reflective listening in the therapy process to help survivors move past complicated grief and facilitate the recovery process. The material provides samples of illustrative questions that helped victims get “unstuck” and undertake meaningful activities. This course discusses the implication of therapists and clinical tools that empower the client and place him or her “in charge” using discovery-oriented Socratic questions of a “What” and “How” rather than “Why” questions.
