Music therapists work with those who have experienced profound and significant trauma in a number of clinical settings. In some cases, participants in therapy may uncover or reveal past traumatic experiences which may not have been presented as part of the work. Responding to trauma therapeutically involves careful, thoughtful thinking and presence in the room - but how to do this sort of work effectively?

​

In this two hour workshop - with a strong emphasis on a safe space - we will workshop:

• How trauma manifests in our workplaces and those we work with

• How to spot traumatic symptoms in those we work with

• How best to respond to patients/clients who are experiencing trauma
