This workshop offers the opportunity to explore psychosocial trauma as it arises from exposure to ALEs to shape and reshape patterns of interpersonal relating. Participants will be encouraged to interrogate incidents of ALEs that inform the social nervous system and give rise to emotional inflammation and the condition for trauma bondage and infidelity. The workshop will also delve into the neurobiology of complex trauma, and this will include a close exploration of how intimacy supports the nourishing spirit of love in interpersonal relationships. Additionally, this workshop brings emphasis to the centrality of community and social resources in the recovery from complex psychosocial trauma through a case study.
Participants will gain insight into:
- The shape of complex psychosocial trauma in interpersonal relationships
- The features of traumatic memory in the social nervous system
- Trauma bondage & relational inflammation as features of psychosocial trauma
- Psychosocial Developmental Demand in Focus – Integrating Intimacy to Promote Love (the antithesis of isolation and loneliness in dis-integration)
- Introduction to complex psychosocial trauma recovery in childhood – A Case study
- Introduction to Relational SPEARs for Neuropsychosocial Integration & 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.
