Objectives
- Identify trauma and stressor-related disorders and how they inform trauma-focused treatment planning.
- Differentiate between developmental, attachment-related, and shock trauma in clinical practice.
- Recognize common trauma symptoms and comorbidities, and select appropriate intervention strategies.
- Incorporate trauma-informed assessment tools to evaluate readiness and monitor progress.
- Explain how trauma impacts the brain and describe approaches that support neurobiological healing.
- Describe the three-phase treatment approach emphasized in ITATM®: stabilization, trauma processing, and reintegration.
- Compare key trauma modalities and how ITATM® integrates their evidence-based elements.
- Apply phase-based strategies like sensory regulation and bilateral stimulation to promote emotional safety.
- Utilize somatic, cognitive, and expressive tools to support trauma recovery.
- Analyze case examples that demonstrate phase-based interventions in complex trauma treatment.
- Assess how integrative, phase-based trauma treatment can support healing within time-limited clinical settings.
- Summarize current research supporting integrative trauma approaches like ITATM®.
