Professional PTSD Counselling Diploma Course (Udemy.com)

This course is an Eye opener to understand the world of PTSD. I myself has been self diagnosed as PTSD sufferer with the help of this course. This course is really helpful to get to know the different methods of recovery for different level of PTSD sufferers. Thanks again for your knowledge and guidance for your students on these amazing subjects.

Former soldier, law enforcement also, becoming a peer support specialist for our dept. This training is a great course and very valuable for any first responder encountering people with PTSD, etc. It gives you a lot of tools to assist you with building rapport and working with the community. Loved it!

yes it was good! i would like Dr . Karen to recommend and plan a package for non-psychology students. some students may have other backgrounds in the humanities and want to do professional counseling. What would you have them know?

The teacher is a lovely, gentle woman and I was quite happy with most of the course. The only thing is that I was surprised that it wasn't a bit more in depth, and there were some typo's and repetitiveness in the manual that were distracting. Overall, I am happy I took the course and it will help me to further my career.

I truly enjoyed this course as it was very informative and will prove to be a valuable resource as I continue to build on my professional development for my career as a Peer Support Specialist. Not only was the information provided with accuracy from a clinical perspective, but I also could relate having been diagnosed with PTSD myself. Thank you again for providing this course!

Good course and I've learned much. I'm not sure that not submitting the assessments is beneficial. At least, I would have liked a discussion on the type of things to include in our practice for the case studies. Page numbers would be handy as the manual is quite bulky.

I did not feel any engagement with the Instructor at all via the video recordings. I did try and ask questions to get engagement but either got a yes or no answer - not what I expected from a counselling course. I have completed one other course and when the instructor is talking on the video it is a lot more engaging and visuals good. Another course I am doing, the instructor is fully participating in the video - much more engagement! The information was helpful but was repetitive and evidently, there is an error in Exercise 2, relating to disassociation and I hope this is corrected. I feel that real life scenarios could be conveyed by video or interviews obviously with permission regarding PTSD. This is a serious subject and I am disappointed that you can get a Certificate without having to hand in completed exercises! I hope the feedback is useful.

I was specifically looking for a basic course in understanding PTSD as my husband is a Returned Vet soldier living with complex PTSD. This course provided me with a lot of valuable information i.e. signs of distress, symptoms, how PTSD develops, how to support an individual living with PTSD etc. I now feel I can respond in a more healthy and productive manner when my husband is struggling and unable to verbalise what is going on inside him. Prior to doing this course, I used to think that I was the problem i.e. not understanding or responding well when my husband is displaying aggressive PTSD symptoms. I now realise that PTSD is so complex in nature and I do not need to take things personally when my husband is unwell, as I now understand that what I am seeing are PTSD symptoms and not a personal attack on me. Thank you so very much for this course.

Great informative course. While I have just found out that I won't be able to use what I've learned here in my own PTSD, due to restrictions set by state, it still has been a positive experience that I will be able to use in my own battle with PTSD. I highly recommend this course!

This course is a great addition to my private practice as a Recovery Coach and I find the information to be easily understandable and relevant to my clients and why they got into addiction in the first place. It is in depth, which is extremely important to me so as I do an accessment of a client in our first introductory meeting I am able to discuss this area in their lives and ask open-ended questions pertaining to how they grew up and are living today and basically finding out if PTSD is present.
