Post Traumatic Success-3.0 CES
Description
Post Traumatic Success aims to
help clients transform what happened to them to make them better instead of bitter.
This approach combines the theory and practice of positive psychology and
solution-focused brief therapy with traditional approaches. It veers away from
a focus on pathology (what is wrong with clients and how to repair the worst)
to a focus on what is right with them and how to create the best – that is,
from posttraumatic stress to posttraumatic success.
Bannink’s model comprises the
three R’s of posttraumatic success: Recovery, Resilience and enRichment
(posttraumatic growth). Trauma therapists will learn what it takes to help
survivors benefit more substantially from psychotherapy and how to support
clients in developing longer-term resilience. They will learn how to increase
their clients’ self-efficacy and self-esteem, and make psychotherapy shorter in
time, more cost-effective, and more lighthearted for their clients and for
themselves.
In this presentation Bannink will
equip participants with practical direction for adopting a more positive
approach and expanding their range of available techniques.
It is time to turn the tide on
treating trauma by shifting the focus from reducing distress and merely surviving
to building success and positively thriving.
