Move beyond symptom reduction to empower trauma survivors with self-compassion, agency, and hope.
Join us for a professional development opportunity that reframes trauma recovery as more than just distress reduction, but as a journey back to positive self-regard and emotional growth.
Led by trauma expert Dr Sharelle Smith, this session will introduce the Trauma Recovery Measure (TRM), a brief, evidence-based tool that evaluates recovery stages through the lens of cognitive and emotional growth. We’ll explore how clinicians can guide their patients on this recovery journey.
Dr Sharelle Smith is the Principal Clinical Psychologist and Director of the Lightner Centre. Sharelle has completed a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD), a Master of Clinical Psychology, and a Postgraduate Diploma of Psychology at Bond University, as well as a Bachelor of Science (Psychology) at Monash University.
