Working with clients as massage therapists, as healthcare professionals we certainly encounter ethical issues, and we certainly encounter clients who are managing their own levels of trauma. Trauma and how human beings manage it, is more complicated than most of us actually realize and ethical issues and dilemmas can be an obstacle to the therapeutic relationship and the resolution of pain for a client. The specifics of our profession bring us closer to a client suffering from trauma more than others and understanding the framework of how trauma effects an individual is crucial to both safety and ethical massage therapy. The more ethically we approach the complex nature of trauma the better equipped we can be in working with and supporting our clients while maintaining an ethical massage practice. Through the lens of the most up to date neuroscience we examine the effects of trauma on the human nervous system and thereby its effects on the human being. We will look at specific ethical issues that face the massage therapy community in working with clients recovering or experiencing trauma. Join Jonathan C. Primack BA-LMT for this in depth look at ethical massage therapy related to trauma, its mechanisms and its behavioral significance on clients as well as on us as massage therapists. Students will be provided a detailed handout that will support the lecture and power-point presentation. Specifics include: connections between traumatic life events and the manifestation of these events in physical symptomology. Examination of real altered behavioral states, physical triggers and emotional responses through student interactive trauma-based examples and exercises. We look very closely at our scope of practice and how to support the therapeutic relationship between the client and the therapist. Ethical decision making when referring out and how to maintain healthy, ethical. professional boundaries when working with a human being recovering from trauma.4 In person CEs - NCBTMB Approved Provider #1000101
