Healing Intergenerational Trauma - Dr Karen Alter-Reid, Ph.D.

Get early access to our latest psychology lectures: http://bit.ly/new-talks5 For patients with trans-generational trauma histories that include oppression, war, slavery, genocide, and immigration to a new culture, it is important to develop treatment plans to address trans-generational wounding and adaptations. How does the clinician know when to focus on trans-generational trauma? This presentation will help clinicians locate transmissions by: 1) attending to the affective quality ad content of the patient’s narrative; 2) understanding symptoms of trans-generational trauma; 3) learning how to do generational genograms: and 4) investigating the presence and nature of their tribal narratives. Once the clinician suspects that symptoms are related to trans-generational trauma, a series of interventions are presented to expand history taking, locate generational themes and resources, and process along the lines of the generational trauma/themes. The processing leads to a coherent, regulated generational/tribal narrative from which the patient can move forward and interrupt the transmission of trauma to the next generation. -- Dr. Karen Alter-Reid is a clinical psychologist who specializes in working with adults struggling with post-traumatic stress injuries.

In this lecture series, we'll explore the fascinating new science of the mind-body connection, and how it can be applied to transform therapeutic practice. You’ll learn how the mind affects us biologically, how what happens in the body influences the mind, and how to apply these cutting edge insights to enhance your therapeutic work. We’ll have talks from three speakers at the forefront of the field, including: — Dr Pat Ogden, who will present on Sensorimotor Psychotherapy in Context. — Susan Aposhyan, who will give a talk on her innovative “Body-Mind Psychotherapy” Approach — Deirdre Fay, whose topic will be “Becoming Safely Embodied”.
