Overview:
The toxic culture of individualism and patriarchy rests on the delusion that we stand apart from nature and are in control of it. Whether the ‘nature’ we are trying to control is our partner, our kids, our bodies (“I must lose 10 pounds”) or our own minds (“I must be less negative”).
Our autonomic nervous system scans our bodies four times a second: “Am I safe?” “Am I safe?” “Am I safe?” “Am I safe?” If the answer is “Yes, I feel safe,” we remain seated in the wise adult part of ourselves: our prefrontal cortex. We remember the whole, the relationship. But when the answer is “No, I feel in danger,” we shift into subcortical parts of the brain, engaging in knee-jerk, automatic responses in which we see the world as a zero-sum, I-win-you-lose power struggle.
In heated moments, we lose the wisdom of “us.” We need to equip our clients to cultivate the ongoing practice of relational mindfulness: shifting from “you and me” consciousness into the centered, adult parts of ourselves. Remembering love—that the person we’re speaking to is someone we care about, not an enemy—is the critical first step. This is the foundational skill upon which all other skills depend.
Once we equip our clients to think ecologically and relationally, all the terms change. For example, the relational answer to the question of “Who is right and who is wrong?” is “Who cares?” The real question becomes: How are you and I going to work on this as a team? Come learn how to help people effectively deal with their own trauma triggers and avoid inflicting them on their families.
Objectives:
- Recognize the tri-part system of the psyche: wise adult, adaptive child, wounded child.
- Assess the neurobiological underpinnings of trauma adaptation and recovery.
- Demonstrate for clients to use their relationships as crucibles for their own transformation.
- Develop a relational map and tool kit for clients: a relational technology, that has the power to deliver on our new romantic ambitions.
Note: This course integrates neurobiological, relational, and trauma-informed concepts through a lens that includes cultural and philosophical perspectives. While clinical tools and frameworks are discussed, the course is not intended as formal training in a specific therapeutic modality or intervention protocol. Participants are encouraged to apply course content in accordance with their clinical judgment, ethical guidelines, and professional scope of practice.
