Janina Fisher – Somatic Interventions for Treating Complex Trauma with Janina Fisher Ph.D

The Neurobiological Legacy of Trauma

• How the mind and body respond to danger and threat
• Autonomic arousal & affect tolerance
• Unsafety in the body
• Persistent loss of self-control-Witness

Traumatic Memory and its Nature

• “The body keeps the score” (Van der Kolk)
• Implicit memories: Are they memory?
• Be aware of the situation: ‘here’ Oder ‘there’?

Neurobiologically-Be informed Trauma Treatment

• Restoring a witnessing self and stabilizing the nervous system after trauma
• Psychoeducation: Knowledge is power
• Reframing the symptoms
• Avoid ‘self-defeating stories’ (Meichenbaum)
• Not the event, but the symptoms.

Sensorimotor Psychotherapy

• Trauma and procedural learning
• Tracking the body as a source of information
• Use the language of the body
• Body-centered techniques into talking therapy treatments

Mindfulness and Neuroplasticity

• Mindfulness practices in therapy
• Differentiate thoughts, feelings and body experience
• Dual awareness of everyday experience
• Teach mindfulness to clients

Challenges of Trauma Treatment

• Secondary symptoms: anger, self-harm and suicidality, aggression, substance abuse, and eating disorders
• Treatment-resistant depression and anxiety
• Complex symptoms as manifestations of animal defense responses

Therapy as a Laboratory for the Practice of New Actions

• Dis-identifying with the symptoms
• Develop a new language and a new story
• Capitalize on somatic resources for modulating the nervous system
• New resources that address specific trauma symptoms

The Role of Neuroplasticity

• Neuroplastic brain change
• Principles of neuroplasticity
• Treatments to enhance neuroplastic effects

Somatic Resolution of Traumatic Events

• Repair and transformation rather than re-processing
• Address uninvited memory
• Tell the story to ourselves: creating internal safety
• Right brain-to-right brain communication: feeling safe with others

The techniques you’ll learn during this workshop will make even the most complex clients easier to treat – and the interventions you’ll learn directly address the underlying causes of post-traumatic stress.

Dr. Fisher will give you tools from Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, a body-centered talking therapy. These simple body-oriented interventions can be easily integrated into traditional talking therapies to address trauma-related challenges such as:

• Dysregulated autonomic arousal
• Overwhelming affects and sensations
• Intrusive images and memories
• Impulsivity and acting out
• Disablesociative phenomena
• Numbing and disconnection

This workshop will cover recent neuroscience research that explains how traumatic experience becomes deeply embedded in both mind and body. Learn how To better assess and make sense of trauma-Learn how to identify neurobiologically-informed treatment options in clinical practice.
