Sexual Development 0-18: Behaviors, Identity, and Trauma (2 CEUs available)

This training explores the dynamics of childhood sexual development from ages 0–18. We will discuss how traumatic experiences can “flip the switch” and influence sexual development resulting in experiences and behaviors that are commonly misunderstood by professionals working with survivors of childhood sexual abuse.

The physiological components of trauma, including neurobiology and nervous system dysregulation, are the main focus of this training. We will discuss how traumatic experiences can alter brain function, resulting in experiences and behaviors that are commonly misunderstood by professionals working with survivors of sexual assault. Participants will leave with an understanding of brain development and functioning as it relates to sexual assault as well as common, involuntary responses to sexual assault, and how to apply these concepts to increase safety and care for survivors.
