Working with Complex Trauma: Addressing Attachment Styles and Character Structures
This educational and experiential workshop will present an overview of working with complex trauma, integrating a body-mind approach in addressing clients’ attachment challenges and developmental disruptions. We will explore the complex, psychobiologically-driven relational framework that is often largely unconscious. This framework, laid down by our early attachment experiences, shapes our development, who we are in the world (our self), and how we relate to others. When clients are having difficulty shifting out of patterns of dysregulation, these implicit dynamics are at play and must be addressed. We will focus on how an integrative treatment approach – based on a psychobiological understanding – helps build clients’ capacity for self-regulation and interpersonal connection.
We will discuss and explore:
- A review of the Social Brain, developmental trauma, and working with early shame and terror
- Historical perspective of Attachment Theory and Styles
- Attachment Dynamics, including separation/individuation and the threat of attachment loss
- Historical perspective of developmental theories on personality development & character structures
- Identifying Attachment Styles and Character Structures – capacities and deficits
- How to work from a developmentally-informed perspective with attachment, relational and developmental trauma
- Working both “top-down” (talk therapies) and “bottom-up” (somatic therapies): Reviewing and practicing interpersonal somatic skills in working with complex trauma
