Introduction
Understanding the effects of trauma and what clinical approaches are used to treat it has a long and complicated history. We will differentiate between T trauma (single episode) and t trauma (relational/developmental). As clinicians many of us work with patients who have experienced relational trauma. This class will provide a basic introduction to the topic and will touch down briefly on a variety of forms of traumatic experience and how trauma may impact transference/countertransference dynamics.
Learning Objectives
Participants will:
- become familiar with how neuroscience has revolutionized the way we understand the effect of trauma on the brain.
- be introduced to Bromberg's approach to treating relational trauma.
- consider the traumatic impact of racism, immigration, and the COVID pandemic.
