About this event
This workshop offers an opportunity to explore various expressions of psychosocial trauma and the disintegration in the whole self from a neuropsychosocial perspective. Participants will learn that the authentic self is adaptive, dynamic, and supported by inherent resilience factors—referred to as ‘Resilience SPEARS’—that protect against psychosocial trauma. In contrast, an inauthentic self is maladaptive, arising from early life experiences where willpower fails to develop within the personality, creating conditions for pathology. The workshop includes a case study that illustrates how psychosocial trauma can destabilise survivors’ sense of self, leading to legacies that may impact future generations. Participants will discover that by integrating autonomy to promote willpower and agency, survivors can be encouraged to develop a resilient sense of self along with authenticity lost due to trauma. Other takeaways include a vocabulary for discussing psychosocial trauma and disintegration in everyday conversations, tools to identify the differences between an authentic self and an inauthentic self, and steps to integrate autonomy and enhance willpower in daily life.
Learning Objective Participants Can Expect From This Event
- Participants will gain insight into the impact of ALEs and psychosocial trauma on survivor’s sense of self.
- The basis of authenticity, autonomy and agency in the social-emotional nervous system.
- Psychosocial Developmental Demand in Focus – autonomy that promotes willpower and agency (the antithesis of compulsion, shame and self-doubt in dis-integration).

Who is This Workshop Appropriate For?
- Featuring theoretical insights and 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.
