— August 27-28, 2015
Day One: The Integration of Mind, Brain and Body in the Treatment of Trauma.
- An examination of how neuroscience research has revealed, in the course of development, children learn to regulate their arousal systems and to discern what is most relevant for survival and the maintenance of relationships.
- Discussion of how trauma, abuse and neglect derail these processes and effect brain development.
Day Two: Advanced Training: Rhythm, Synchrony and Getting to One’s Self.
- After being traumatized, the body keeps pumping out stress hormones that make people feel frazzled, agitated or shut down. Talk therapy by itself, even when combined with warmth and empathy, doesn’t reset the limbic system, the part of the brain that contains an inner map of the world, which in the case of people with histories of abuse and neglect, include feelings of oneself as fundamentally flawed and the world as unpredictable and dangerous.
- Discussion of how traumatic imprints can be addressed using techniques drawn from yoga, theater, neurofeedback and somatic therapies.
