Therapy and the Use of Self Part 3: Transformation to Vicarious Resilience


Credit Available - See CEs/Contact Hours tab below.


Dates


Tags: Webinar Short


Description

A great deal of attention has been focused on vicarious trauma for clinicians who work with survivors of trauma. However, the concept of vicarious resilience is just as important for therapists. Vicarious resilience goes beyond self-care. Vicarious Resilience is defined as the positive impact on and personal growth of therapists resulting from exposure to clients’ resilience (Hernandez, Engstrom, & Gangsei, 2007). While resilience is defined as adapting in the face of adversity, it can also involve profound personal growth. Participants will have the opportunity to identify resilience- and strength-based clinical models and identify and assess their own vicarious resilience through a self-assessment tool. There will be a focus on the 7 possible dimensions of vicarious resilience.  Participants will be given time to develop a plan to evaluate their own resilience and use these tools on an ongoing basis. Finally, the training will explore ways participants can use their vicarious resilience to promote resilience informed therapy to their clients.

 

Learning Objectives:

  1. Define vicarious resilience and identify examples in their own practice.
  2. Identify strength based clinical models and be able to define the reasons these models are considered resilience based. 
  3. Interpret resilience using the Vicarious Resilience Scale. 
  4. Differentiate 7 dimensions of vicarious resilience.
  5. Formulate a practice routine to enhance vicarious resilience.
  6. Identify ways that vicarious resilience in therapists enhances resilience in clients.

Research:  The American Psychological Association maintains a database on publications about trauma. Google Scholar includes links to numerous articles on vicarious trauma and vicarious resilience.

Target Audience: social workers, mental health practitioners, creative arts therapists, marriage and facility therapists, psychologists, addiction professionals, case managers, and other interested individuals.
