IC19 Short Course 33 - Release Traumas Through Shifting Belief Systems With Awareness Integration Model - Foojan Zeine, PsyD

Description:

The effect of Traumas can persist throughout a person's lifespan and across different areas such as work, finances, intimate relationship, sexuality, relationship with body, and people at large. Beside building resiliency to reenter life's day to day activities, releasing of many beliefs that get created at the time of the trauma about the self and the world is necessary for the traumatic effect and impact to move from destructiveness to constructing life. Through the Awareness Integration®(AI), a multi-modality psychological model, a person learns to release their traumas by identifying and releasing the core belief that they associated to the self and the world and therefore not assigning or generalizing a victimized stance toward life, build resiliency, identify their strengths, envision a desired future, and create an action plan to fulfill a successful future. Awareness Integration® Model enhances self-awareness, releases past traumas and/or psychological blocks, and promotes clarity and a positive attitude to learn and implement new skills for an effective, productive, and successful life. AI model integrates cognitive, behavioral, emotional, hypnosis, and body-mind techniques to create more awareness into a person's life patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving toward self and others. The AI model is created in consideration of all the areas that one faces and relates to in one’s span of life. The questions are structured to entice awareness that leads to consciousness and a sense of ownership, responsibility, and accountability toward one’s creation of thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and results.

The presentation will begin with introducing the general aspects of the model, the 9 Principals of the AI model, and the 6 intervention phases will be discussed with participant’s engagement in an exercise related to each phase. The session will be completed with a general question and answer time.
