HEALING TRAUMATIC STRESS: HELPING MIND, BRAIN AND BODY TO LET GO OF THE PAST
WITH DR. BESSEL VAN DER KOLK
Duration: 11 hrs Approx  Memory Stick/Flash Drive or 8 x DVDs
Universal DVD Format (playable in US/Canada)

Bessel van der Kolk brings us a unique gift: he is a masterful therapist as well as being a uniquely enquiring scientist.

Description: After having been traumatized, the brain is re-set to respond to ordinary challenges as existential threats, and the body continues to pump out stress hormones that make people feel frazzled, agitated, or shut down. In response, traumatized individuals tend to organize much of their energy on not feeling and sensing their inner experience. The sad side effect of this is that they pay with their capacity to fully engage in activities and relationships. After the brain has been rewired to over-focus on danger it has trouble paying attention to subtle changes in one’s universe. Research over the last thirty years has elucidated the nature of these processes, which have profound implications for clinical treatment and effective intervention.

The last twenty years has provided us with a great deal of information about the impact of trauma on the brain, and on its interference with the capacity to pay attention, concentrate and filter out irrelevant information. In this workshop we will review these discoveries, and demonstrate how bottom up processes, that involve, touch, movement and breathing, as well as top-down processes that utilize mindfulness and interoception, can help traumatized children and adults to regulate their arousal and regain mastery over their own ships. In this workshop, you will learn how traumatic imprints can be integrated using techniques drawn from somatic therapies, yoga, theater and neuro-feedback.

Duration 11 hrs Approx (8 x DVDs)
Universal DVD Format (playable in US/Canada)
NB: For copyright reasons, video’s in Dr. van der Kolk’s presentations are excluded from this recording.

Viewers will learn:

  • Breathing, posture, facial synchrony and vocal exercises to energize your therapeutic presence and enhance being in synchrony with patients’ posture and expressions.
  • Skills for bringing parts of the brain on-line that are knocked out by hyper and hypo-arousal.
  • Tracking physiological arousal in body language and movements.

How the only way to achieve self-leadership is through activation of the areas of the brain involved in interoception and mindfulness.
