Current Approaches to the Treatment of Trauma: The Shift from Cognition to Affect Regulation (2-day program))

This 2-DAY PROGRAM explores, means which might affect the regulation of psychological states. We look at early developmental issues, as well as the influence of culture and language on reaction to trauma and on the treatment process.

When trauma occurs, there is a tendency toward disintegration, leading to chaos and rigidity. Also, we look at the integrative mechanisms underlying the process of healing, and toward achieving a flow of energy and information that is at the heart of well-being.

Listeners will learn about the most recent experimental and clinical data generating a paradigm shift into models that emphasize affect regulation and integration as central mechanisms of therapeutic change. Advances in our understanding of the rapid appraisal of emotional information that occurs beneath awareness call attention to the essential role of emotion and the body in the change process. Cognitive interventions that fail to address motivation and emotion are increasingly proving to be limited in their efficacy, and in the problems to which they can be applied.
