Psychophysiology of Trauma Online Course

Teacher: Caelan Kuban, MSW

This presentation focuses on understanding the physiology of trauma by understanding the normal life-preserving survival responses of “flight/fight/freeze” in an individual and how they fulfill nature’s species-preserving function. Investigating the disturbance of these responses forms the essential foundation for understanding symptoms that results in Posttraumatic Stress and Posttraumatic Stress Disorder. Trauma is fundamentally a highly activated incomplete psycho-physiological response to threat, frozen in time. What is significant in the resolution of trauma is the completion of incompleted responses to threat and the ensuing discharge of the energy that was mobilized for survival.

Comments from Students

The material is easily understood and the presentation is logical and sequential. The ease of doing this online and at your own pace is excellent for busys working professionals.

This was an awesome course!

This is a difficult topic to learn about through the one learning style of simply reading handouts. However I am thrilled to have the opportunity to take online courses, regardless of the format that the information is provided. Things that are more interactive would be helpful such as videos, diagrams, etc. to help understand the concept. It seemed as though the content could have gone just a few steps further in each of the sections to help me feel more of a mastery of the topic. Thank you!

This course was extremly helpful in helping me to gain a better understanding the psychophysiological effects of trauma and way of working with and helping clients.

This was a wonderful course. All of the information is easy to read and comprehend. it is very user friendly and all of the information makes perfect sense.

Excellent course, I would have liked even more info on the functions of each part of the brain.
