Preverbal attachment trauma is much more common than generally thought and creates fierce and often primitive protectors. These parts are terrified to separate and risk leaving the exiles they care so deeply about to face a world without love... alone. Self in these systems has sometimes left the building altogether.
Extreme parts, chronically dysregulated parts, abjectly lonely and terrified parts--all need love but don't know how to get it.
Picking up where Healing Early Neglect with IFS leaves off*, this class will take you deeper into the world of Preverbal Trauma: the etiology, the symptoms, the characteristics, and the challenges in your office.
During this weekend IFS and Trauma Trainer and Consultant Colleen West will combine didactic and experiential teaching to offer new and effective techniques to add to your IFS toolbox. She will facilitate developing skills in
- Working with preverbal trauma as legacy burden
- Co-regulating dysregulated parts
- Using the therapeutic relationship to grow Self-energy in the system
As usual, Colleen will bring her trademark and infectious enthusiasm for the work to ensure an engaging and fun weekend - the subject matter is heavy, the therapist does not need to be!
*It is not necessary to have taken Healing Early neglect to participate in the weekend. This is an advanced weekend. In order to take this weekend course you must have taken an IFSCA course or IFSI Level 1, or Colleen West's course "Healing Complex Trauma with IFS".
This weekend course will be recorded and the recording will be available for review for 1 month.
