( HS Reese 059865 2024) Complex Developmental Trauma: Attachment, Neurobiological and Cognitive-Behavioral Interventions to H

Course overview

When childrens nervous systems are activated, theyre engulfed in a flood of stress hormones, setting off a chain reaction. They experience feelings of unsafety, overwhelm, anger, and disconnection, trapping them in their trauma brain and hindering the development of executive functioning skills. As emotions and bodies spiral out of control, children are often mislabeled with a multitude of diagnoses ODD, ADHD, anxiety. We assume the behaviors are intricately connected, rather than just isolated incidents. But what if we approached each symptom individually? Rather than assigning diagnoses, well implement anxiety interventions to restore feelings of safety, attachment based approaches to alleviate feelings of loneliness associated with depression, and sensory regulation techniques to better manage emotions activated by sensory memories.
