Aims
Counselling and psychotherapy courses need to equip trainee therapists to work with trauma and develop an understanding of the psychological disorders and symptoms including Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Complex PTSD, Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID). Without awareness and knowledge of trauma there is a potential risk that the therapeutic process could re-traumatise clients who have suffered trauma events. Trainee counsellors need to have an awareness of the assessments and treatments available for clients suffering from historical or current trauma.
