Course Description: Social workers enter the profession with deep commitments to service, justice, and healing—yet many also carry the lingering impacts of their own childhood trauma. These early adaptations often resurface in professional practice as perfectionism, over-functioning, emotional suppression, people-pleasing, and chronic self-doubt, shaping everything from boundaries and decision-making to supervision patterns and burnout.
Learning Objectives:
- Identify and analyze: Identify common childhood trauma adaptations (e.g., hyper-independence, people-pleasing, over-responsibility, emotional numbing) and analyze how these patterns reemerge in social work practice, supervision, and client interactions.
- Apply and evaluate: Apply a trauma-informed reflective framework to evaluate how their personal histories shape professional identity, emotional responses, boundary-setting, and experiences of imposterism, burnout, or moral distress.
- Implement and integrate: Implement practical, neuroscience-informed strategies for emotional regulation, self-care, and relational repair and integrate these approaches into their ongoing professional practice to enhance sustainability, authenticity, and well-being.
