May 28 – Trauma in the Mind’s Eye: Mitigating and Eliminating Intrusive Thoughts, Flashbacks and Nightmares
Traumatic experiences that are frozen, stuck and unprocessed have the potential to exacerbate and to generalize stress reactions. We will learn what causes certain memories to become traumatic. We will review the neurobiology of stress on memory systems and cognitive distortions that sear trauma responses in the nervous system. Some memories are based on fear, helplessness and horror, and others memories are fortified by cognitive stuck points (guilt, shame, absorption of perpetrator messages, cultural/religious beliefs). Participants will learn effective interventions that target source traumatic memories.
Participants will learn:
how fear hijacks cognition
why people do what they do when they are overwhelmed
how people get ‘stuck’ and how to get them ‘unstuck’
Attend one or both days and receive a certificate of attendance.
