Emotional, physical, and social distress can arise from unresolved attachment and trauma. Yet recovery is not about thinking our way out of the past. This training will teach you about the biology of recovery from the unique perspective of working directly with non-consciously encoded memory, also known as implicit memory. Several branches of implicit memory are involved with the autonomic nervous system, the threat response cycle, and primitive states of emotional regulation. Why can't your clients change the emotional and behavioral patterns they know are hurting themselves and others?
In this workshop, you will learn how interoception is used in therapy. Learning how to observe and change ongoing states of distress, as well as learning how to guide clients to repair relational ruptures on an implicit level, can lead to long-lasting and deep states of change. You will practice therapeutic exercises that you can use with your clients right away. Implicit Psychotherapy distills science, theory, and practice with clarity. The training is a combination of lectures, small break-out practices throughout with immediate skill building, and clinical deconstructions of live and prerecorded volunteer demonstrations. Working with implicit memory is a pathway to reinstate secure attachment, increase emotional and physiological regulation, and restore a person's sense of essential self.
