Description of CE Program/Activity
 The presentation will provide an outline on the impact of trauma, including the Big T and Little t traumas that we all experience. It will explore how we work through trauma, how we provide self-care to avoid being triggered with painful past experiences, and how we help our clients work through difficult past situations. The presentation will also seek to provide a better understanding of the iceberg of trauma (surface behaviors versus what s underneath), how we can use active listening skills to help clients feel safe, and other ways to help clients work through the traumas of vision loss, be it through congenital, accident, illness, etc.
