Shame-based
trauma memories are highly distressing and disturbing. High levels of
self-criticism appear to maintain the sense of current psychological threat.
The personal meaning conveyed in the fragmented images and flashbacks is often
painful, condemning and shaming.
This workshop
will explore how clinicians can use a compassionate mind to create new
emotional meaning for shame based trauma experiences. It will
present techniques of how to develop a compassionate trauma narrative, work
with shame based flashbacks and use compassionate focused problem solving to
work with trauma meaning. It will explore using compassionate inner
dialogues to end self- critical maintenance cycles of current threat.
The workshop
will focus on clinical skills of weaving compassion into trauma memory work.
There will be an assumption that attendees have some knowledge of
compassion-focused therapy.
