Course Description

How safe are you in your professional relationships with colleagues and patients? 

Are you responding to demands in fight, flight or fawn response? 

What do you know about the window of tolerance? 

This training will benefit you, whether working in a business environment  with Deaf professionals, patients in mental health, clients undergoing social services interventions and everything in between. 

This 3 part training will challenge and illuminate your ideas and understanding about the impact of trauma on your interpreting practise. Whether you or your clients experience trauma, this can change both your actions and responses to the demands made of you.

Explore how perceived acts of kindness could be boundary violations. The relationship between professional boundaries and the risk of burnout, vicarious trauma and compassion fatigue will also  be discussed.

From Maslow’s Hierachy to the importance of breathing, theory will be turned into practical tools during these sessions.

You will also learn about the body’s biological responses to trauma including:

  • The link between trauma and chronic medical conditions,
  • Vagus Nerve/Parasympathetic System
  • Chemicals and hormones in trauma

There will be space and time to examine strategies and interventions to address the impact of trauma on your interpreting practise
