1st Workshop

Introduction to the basic principles of developmental trauma

The first workshop in the series offers an understanding of the core dilemma underlying adapting to failures in early social environment (e.g. abuse, neglect, chronic misattunement, abandonment etc.). As children, in order to protect the attachment relationship with the caregiver, we had to suppress emotions and needs that were not allowed to be expressed, were not met or were ignored. Many of our symptoms and problems reflect early adaptive survival strategies.

In this workshop, we will explore how early learned patterns of coping with emotional pain affect our capacity today to feel alive and authentic and to be connected to our body, feelings and in relationships. Furthermore, we will explore how to (re)connect with the parts of ourselves that we have become disconnected from, without getting stuck in the hamster wheel of past traumas.
