Description

Trauma can leave us fearfully doubting ourselves, disconnecting us from ourselves and others. The younger we are the more extensive and insidious the impacts are on our lives and relationships. Attachment Theory helps us understand this. 

In this presentation, I will demonstrate various ways you can help your clients reconnect with their own truth, knowing, and wisdom. I will demonstrate ways you can help them see and deal with fears. I will demonstrate ways you can connect your clients to the parts of them that are calm and wise and that do know what to do.  

I will show you safe and beneficial ways of working with dissociation. I will model and differentiate ways of staying warmly connected with the client, of ‘following their process’, and of helping them be with their inner processes. 

We will use journaling techniques as they are powerful tools of connection to self. Clients can continue to develop 

The presentation will be experiential. When you experience something that works for you, it goes down to your foundations, and you will be able to do it with others. So bring paper, pencils or pens you like to use. This is preferable to working on screens.

Objectives

1. Build confidence working in different channels; somatically (movement), with active imagination (think Jung and guided imagery), with art therapy (squiggle drawings), with different parts of clients (the wounded baby, the wise and loving elder) and relationship with self (journaling and free writing).  
2. Integrate fresh information arising each time channels are switched as clients quickly and deeply have therapeutic insights and healing in these modes.  
3. Support actions arising in the processes. 
4. Modify and apply these skills to practice and utilize them according to therapy style of practice and client’s needs.  
5. Safely experiment with and employ the techniques.  
6. Design and develop new ways of working effectively with the techniques most appropriate to the client’s needs.   

Outline

• What’s my truth now? Simple journaling exercise. This can become a mantra so your client can access their truth and act on it throughout the day. 
• Using journaling to dissociate safely and to access the wise elder within. 
• What’s in the way of me and my truth and happiness, intergenerationally? Again employing journaling and active imagination channels to contact the moods we absorbed from our mothers/fathers/grandparents/caregivers and to break our loyalty to their trauma responses and states that are not good for us. 
• What does the baby me need and how can I meet those needs? I’ll use and model active imagination, guided imagery, polyvagal comforting speech tone and rhythm to distinguish our attachment disruptions, and to bring compassion and comfort to the baby us.  And yes, you’ll also be journaling. 
• Distinguish your key learnings and formulate ways you can integrate them into your therapy style.
