Learn trauma-informed communication strategies
Being aware of how trauma presents in people is a critical skill for family support professionals. In this workshop, we will explore how we perceive and filter information and learn communication strategies that are based on understanding trauma.
In the first part of this workshop, we will discuss the 10 most common ways we interpret events. Participants will learn to understand how trauma can affect the way people filter information and lead to cognitive distortions (for example, all-or-nothing thinking, mental filtering, and mind-reading). Through self-compassion and non-judgemental, experimental “playing” with these distortions, participants will be able to see how information is filtered and perceived.
The second part of this workshop will examine communication styles, including a high-level introduction to non-violent communication, as well as "I language" and "demands vs. requests." Participants will also explore mindful communication techniques.
Past participants have shared that this workshop has highlighted the importance of personal responsibility in communication. Others have shared that it helped make a positive shift in their workplace as employees/co-workers started to communicate differently, using "I language," and a better understanding of how they are communicating and perceiving information.
Learning Objectives
- To learn what cognitive distortions are, and which ones resonate for participants
- To learn how to be self-compassionate and curious (rather than judgemental) as they become aware of their cognitive distortions and communication style
- To become aware of communication styles and how to be a responsible communicator
- To acquire skills on how to be mindful with information, internal dialogue, and how one communicates information
Dates and Times
Tuesday, January 24th and Tuesday, January 31st from 9:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. PST.
