Course details

Childhood trauma leaves its mark on the mind, body and soul. In the course we will deal with childhood trauma situations and touch on the different levels of the traumatic experience. We will discuss the complexity of the diagnosis in children and adolescents, who by nature are still subject to maturation and development processes. We will look at different therapeutic languages, with an integrative view, while listening multidimensionally to the post-traumatic injury in childhood.
