Topic of training: Understanding and working therapeutically with survivors of sexualised trauma + interpersonal psychological trauma
Workshop will include:
- The neurobiology of threat
Why people do not usually react in ‘logical’ or ‘active’ ways when faced with intimate interpersonal threat; the impact of the lack of understanding of why the person did not behave ‘logically and actively’, on the individual him or herself (often resulting in guilt, shame and feelings of responsibility), and potentially on judgment from others (compounding the guilt and shame).
- Vulnerability to repeat victimisation
Neurobiology will be used to explain how, once a person is interpersonally traumatised, they are very vulnerable to being targeted and traumatised again.
- The potential impact of working with sexualised / psychological trauma (taking better care of ourselves)
Secondary and vicarious traumatisation; how to look after oneself, and colleagues, whilst being repeatedly exposed to traumatised people and adverse details of traumatic events.
- Trauma symptomatology
The neurobiological underpinnings of trauma symptoms; suggestions for minimising such during disclosure.
- The impact of significant threat on memory and recall
Basic brain science explaining types of memory and the fallibility of such; the impact of threat on how memory is encoded.
- What is required from the practitioner / professional
What went 'wrong' (i.e. what 'need(s)' weren’t met) as a guide to understanding what is now 'needed'; understanding that we cannot change what has happened. It already happened. We can impact what they will get from us now, and we can do our bit to safeguard for the future.
