Tracking # 20-1205596
Course overview
When people think of trauma, they often think of acute, dramatic situations, such as a natural disaster. Yet for children raised with substance use disorders, the disaster is within their family system. In this workshop, you'll explore the experiences of adult children of alcoholics and the implications for the clinical setting. You'll also understand how to work with the emotional dysregulation and traumatic responses that adverse child experiences, emotional abandonment, and blatant abuses can fuel throughout life. We'll learn: How to recognize and assess adult children of addiction (ACA) or adult children of alcoholics (ACoA) How treatment of this type of trauma is different from that of single-incident traumatic stress How to help adult children of addiction and alcoholism recover from the reverberations of past trauma
