Dates: Nov 18, 2020
Times:11:30 am - 1:00 pm
In clinical settings, clients are often labeled as “acting out” or “resistant,” instead of viewing their behavior as what it is – a trauma response. The defenses they’re using might have worked to protect them in the past, but they are now often working against them, and making it more difficult to move forward in their healing. Because it is not our job to take away the client’s defenses, but rather, to create a safe enough environment for them to drop them themselves, working with defenses needs to be done delicately, and with great compassion.
In this educational and interactive workshop, we’ll explore how and why trauma responses emerge, and explore sociometric and psychodramatic tools to help build greater safety for clients. We will utilize the “Little Me” exercise, created by Psychodramatist Bill Coleman to better understand the origin of defenses, identify which defensive accommodations are still in play, and learn how to help clients feel safe enough to let go of those that are no longer serving them.
