About this event
This workshop offers the opportunity to explore survival impulses that originate in the ancient instinctive brain system – evolutionarily speaking – and the importance of these impulses in understanding manifestations of ALEs and trauma throughout the life cycle, but mainly in adult life. Participants will be encouraged to interrogate the legacies of suffering that originate with surviving Trans-Atlantic Slavery in the Caribbean, the ethnic cleansing of First Nation People in Canada, and the Holocaust in Europe to gain a sound understanding of the neurobiology of survival in instinctive and lower brain processes and the place of choice, environment, and genetics in neuropsychiatric disorders and coping mechanisms. This is to highlight the interplay between nature and nurture when it comes to complex collective health concerns of which addiction, neuroses, and schizophrenia are examples. A dialogue surrounding resilience and recovery rooted in our shared neurobiology and social history is invited.
Learning Objective Participants Can Expect From This Event
- Participants will gain insight into lower mental processes – the primitive basis of responding v reacting to ALE.
- Psychosocial Developmental Demand in Focus – integrating industriousness to promote competence (the antithesis of incompetence and inferiority in dis-integration).
- Practical Application of Somatic SPEARs for well-being – Correcting the stories.
Who is This Workshop Appropriate For?
- Featuring theoretical insights alongside case studies, this workshop holds a specific appeal for trauma researchers, therapists, clinicians, as well as lay individuals exploring their own traumas.
How May This Workshop Impact Your Practice?
- Promising an exploration of the neurobiology of the psychosocial, this is a “cross-disciplinary and cross-cultural synthesis of neurobiology, attachment and trauma theory, spirituality, and epigenetics. Woven through passionate prose is an appreciation of the centrality of storytelling, testimony, and bearing witness in the lives of human beings in groups and communities. Here is a giant step forward for the emergent field of psychosocial studies” with a special appeal for clinicians and well-being practitioners employing neurobiology of the psychosocial and narratives to improve outcomes within therapeutic relationships.
This is one of a series of 12 workshops based on Dr Maduro’s recently published work on Neuropsychosocial Integration in which she explores the incidence of psychosocial trauma in ordinary life as it persists across generations.
