Over the past few years, new insights into trauma’s impact on the body, brain, and relationships have spawned a range of new approaches to treatment. Many of these modalities can be considered fundamental shifts from earlier therapeutic paradigms. We will examine how neuroscience research has elucidated how, in the course of development, children learn to regulate their arousal systems and to focus on what is most relevant. We then will examine how trauma, abuse, and neglect derail these processes and affect brain development.
Since traumatic imprints are stored in subcortical brain areas and are largely divorced from verbal recall, a central focus needs to be on the somatic experiencing trauma-related sensations and effects. These deep imprints are the engines for continuing maladaptive behaviors. Fixation of trauma and learned helplessness require interventions to restore active mastery and the capacity to attend to the here-and-now.
With the aid of videotaped demonstrations and experiential demonstrations of affect regulation techniques, we will examine the role of body-oriented therapies, neurofeedback, yoga, theater, IFS, and EMDR in resolving the traumatic past and discuss the integration of these approaches during different stages of treatment.
