Self-Paced
This one-hour live virtual webinar on the topic of "Understanding the Basics of Christian Religious Trauma" will provide information to counselors on working with clients who have experienced harm from religious systems including the three main categories of religious trauma and common experiences of their clients. Counselors are trained to assess for multiple aspects of their clients' identity including whether or not the client is coming from a religious or spiritual worldview. However, when a client presents with a harmful experience related to religion, counselors often do not receive training on how to best help these clients. This presentation will help begin to fill in that knowledge gap.
EVENT:
The workshop is designed to help participants:
1.Participants will be able to name the 3 general categories of Religious Trauma.
2.Participants will understand common experiences of clients with history of Religious Trauma.
3.Participants will engage in self-examination around the ethics and personal bias of counseling clients who present with experiences of Religious Trauma.
