Workshop Description

Trauma is itself a meaningless experience, which generates sensations that are difficult to communicate. In complex trauma, the source of traumatization is predominantly interpersonal, has to do with a dysfunctional attachment style. In these cases, understanding the emotional and the relational aspects is a challenge both for patient and therapist. Finally, in the area of dissociation, the non-realization about what has been experienced and its consequences is even greater.

Therefore, giving meaning to the patient's experience, and doing so in the context of an interpersonal relationship, is not the preamble to therapy, but the core of the therapeutic process. Whatever our therapeutic model, for working with complex trauma and dissociation, it is necessary for the therapist to work on a comprehensive psychoeducational approach and to develop with the patient a complete reformulation of their problem and their history. In this workshop the more relevant areas will be described, and resources, techniques, metaphors and clinical examples will be provided to the attendees both at the group and individual level.

Some specific topics that are going to be addressed are:

‒ The Fragmented Identity

‒ The inner voice

‒ Parts of self

‒ The surname of discomfort

‒ Regaining balance

‒ Learning to regulate emotions

‒ Internal parts version 2.0

Learning objectives:

1. Identify the patients’ perspective in cases of severe traumatization, and how to work in changing it

2. Utilize at least two different metaphors for modifying patients’ narratives

3. Integrate at least two different techniques in the therapeutic work
