Rapport Before Repair
Session Description
Many of the patients in our care have experienced trauma and resulting PTSD. This process further isolates these patients out of fear of reoccurrence. Before we can begin to help our patients heal, we must first build rapport. In this session, participants will learn the science behind connection and the way humans make these connections. Participates will learn how to utilize this research to build relationships with those in our care, and how this can ultimately enhance the quality of care we give.
Learning Outcomes
1. Identify three ways PTSD and trauma affect our ability to form trust and relationships.
2. Discuss the neuroscience behind building rapport and relationships.
3. Demonstrate three methods for connecting with patients/clients.
