This course will focus on the brain and bodies response to trauma. This is a game changing prospective to understanding traumatic responses of survivors. Before several of the responses have been viewed by first responders as deception. But understanding trauma enhances interview and investigation strategies as well as helping victims understand their sometimes counterintuitive response to a traumatic incident.
We will talk about keys components of the brain and their response.
We will also discuss responses of the body that we do not get to choose that are common in a traumatic incident.
There will be practical ways to view this in the work of first responders working with victims.
Participants will have a basic understanding of the structures of the brain that are impacted in a traumatic event.
