Information
C-PTSD & Systematic Trauma from an Internal Family Systems (IFS) Perspective
Copyright :
In this workshop, we will discuss the similarities and differences between singular and global trauma. By applying IFS techniques and concepts, we will explore the ways individual therapy helps inform and expand treatment options available to those who suffer from the pervasive and often hidden effects of cultural or institutional oppression. We will also discuss how helping a group of people who struggle with collective trauma is different from treating an individual who suffers from complex PTSD and how comparing different types of violation is counter-productive to healing.
