The Trauma Series Part III: Overcoming Dissociation
Recorded Friday 12 November 2021
With Janina Fisher, PhD
CE Credits: 3 hours
Disconnection from self in the context of traumatic experience is a survival strategy that allows victims to disown and distance themselves from what is happening. But it comes at a cost: long-lasting shame and self-loathing, difficulty self-soothing, internal conflicts and struggles, and complications in relationships with others.
Without internal coherence or compassion, fragmented individuals are vulnerable to suicidality, self-harm or substance abuse, and often marginalised by the label of “borderline.”
READ MORE...But the brain and body have an innate ability to heal. All human beings have a brain capable of visualising experiences of acceptance, closeness and comfort that evoke the same emotional and somatic sensations associated with early secure attachment. Helping clients discover their split-off younger selves and imaginatively bringing them “home” can spontaneously lead to an internal sense of warmth and safety most trauma survivors have never known.
In this presentation, we will explore the therapeutic power of using somatic experience to foster internal attachment to clients’ most deeply disowned younger selves.
