This workshop is one of three exploring Psychosocial Trauma & Neuropsychosocial Disintegration as intergenerational legacies. Participants will explore these legacies as they function throughout the life cycle – beginning with the life story of the developing child in utero. This will include interrogations of genetics, epigenetics, neurobiology, and psychosocial [mal]adaptations across generations. Ances-story is an important feature of psychosocial legacy. It is introduced in this context and explored in case studies surrounding the Dutch Hunger Winter of 1944, the American Ice Storm of 1998, and the Trump family history to strengthen our understanding of trauma as a mechanism through which somatic, psychological, emotional, actional and relational maladaptations transmit across generations.
Learning Objective Participants Can Expect From This Event
- Participants will gain insight into Psychosocial Trauma & Neuropsychosocial as Multi-Generational Legacies.
- Psychosocial Developmental Demand in Focus – integrating initiative to promote purposefulness (the antithesis of purposelessness and guilt in dis-integration).
- Introduction to 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.
