Background Information

"Trauma results in a fundamental reorganisation of the way mind and body manage perceptions.
It changes not only how we think and what we think about but also our very capacity to think."

Judith Herman (1992) Trauma and Recovery

Since early 1990's brain-imaging tools have shown us what happens inside the brains of traumatised people. It affects mind, brain and body.

You will be amazed and inspired by discovering how our remarkable ability to both heal and harm ourselves arises from the same internal coping mechanisms.

You will learn how our internal lower limbic system, which rules emotions, can hijack the higher mental functions, including the neocortex when it needs to.

Specific areas covered in the workshop include
  • What is chronic stress and where does it come from?
  • The importance of the Fight/Flight/Freeze Response
  • The parts of the brain involved in Chronic Stress and Trauma
  • How Secure & Insecure Attachment contribute to Chronic Stress & Trauma
  • Understanding how our memory works in relation to Chronic Stress & Trauma
  • Implications for the helping professions
