Speaker's Bio Testimonials  

Statistics indicate that one out of three people, both male and female, will be personally impacted by sexual trauma (including rape, child sexual abuse, sexual harassment and exploitation). Proper identification and effective treatment are essential to establishing and/or restoring emotional and physical health of an individual and family. New breakthroughs on the neurobiology of trauma have greatly changed the treatment of sexual trauma victims since the 1980s and 1990s. The instructor will give a comprehensive look at the counseling process. Several treatment modalities will be utilized to increase clinical improvement of clients from diverse backgrounds and which modalities work best in each stage of the healing.

Based on her more than 20-year career working with many aspects of sexual trauma, Ms. Bradley will tap into her extensive background as a child sexual abuse investigator, a clinical educator and therapist. She will take participants from the point of initial patient contact and will provide tools and hands-on techniques necessary at each stage. Every participant will receive a comprehensive manual with client masters and handouts.

Ms. Bradley has spoken nationally about her personal experience with sexual trauma and will discuss important and subtle steps in the healing process.
