Early childhood trauma has lasting and dramatic effects on attachment formation and on the later capacity for intimacy and mutuality. Instead of experiencing relationships as a haven of safety, traumatized couples are driven by powerful wishes for and fears of closeness. By using somatic and mindfulness-based interventions, conflictual patterns are disrupted, allowing couples to address the intense responses and impulsive reactions that undermine all sense of safety and hope and recreate the experience of threat in the body and in the relationship.
Para este video de una hora, buscamos dentro del archivo Erickson entre 1973 y 1978, dentro de los seminarios didácticos de Milton Erickson. Erickson condujo estos seminarios didácticos en la comodidad e intimidad de su propio hogar. En este video, encontramos tres casos- cada uno manejando principalmente un trauma. Y en cada uno de estos casos, hay un significado oculto. Erickson demuestra como tomar información “extraña” provista por el cliente; comprender el contexto de forma relevante al problema del cliente, y perspicazmente, extrapola el verdadero significado para tener un efecto terapéutico.

Starting with a review of recent studies on the neurobiology of trauma, Dr. van der Kolk will examine the utility of approaches from the fields of hypnosis, body oriented therapies and EMDR, both with research data and videotaped clinical interventions. The integration of these approaches during different stages of treatment will be discussed.

All children are born with the capacity to develop and use all of the aspects of the organism to live healthy, productive, joyful lives. We know that trauma interrupts the healthy development of the child. There are also some very basic developmental aspects that can further thwart healthy development. An understanding of these hindrances is the first step toward helping children heal.
The study of psychological trauma has been accompanied by an explosion of knowledge about how experience shapes the central nervous system and the formation of the self. The study of trauma has probably been the single most fertile area in developing a deeper understanding of the relationship among the emotional, cognitive, social, and biological forces that shape human development.
