About this Event
Upon completion of this training, the individual is awarded one (1) APA/NBCC CE Hour of Completion.
The Hulk is many things: a nearly-unstoppable destructive force, the alter-ego of Bruce Banner, and an adept allegory for rage. However, with the advent of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, we have seen a character long perceived to be thoughtless and violent transform into a deep, thoughtful, logical, and empathetic individual over the course of the films. This training will look into the history, psychology, struggles, and overall journey of Bruce Banner/The Hulk and then discuss how these themes could translate into a therapeutic setting.
Learning Objectives:
1. Identify who Bruce Banner is, how he became The Hulk, and his role in The Avengers.
2. Provide an example of how themes from The Hulk’s story could be used to address emotion regulation issues in a therapeutic setting.
