Healthy Autonomy

Trauma, Illness and Healing

A trauma splinters the integrity of body and mind and interrupts the coherent body-mind connection necessary for health. There is a disintegration of feeling, sensing and thinking on different levels. Neither cognitive recognition nor emotional feeling/sensing alone is enough to integrate these separate areas again.

A trauma recovery can only succeed if the so-called visceral sensations, in other words the materially stored experiences from the stomach, the heart and the neck signal us that the threat and the nightmare is over and there is no danger anymore.

Therefore, it is necessary to involve the body with all its scars and wounds, to allow it to show and express itself and thereby gradually liberate itself from the burden and all its stress it has borne throughout its lifetime. As a result, it can gradually succeed that a wide variety of physical symptoms are no longer needed and can be transformed into power and life-giving energy.

Regulation and Dysregulation of emotions by both - client and therapist - during the constellation-process

Probably you have experienced it in an IoPT seminar: A client seems to be very motivated to work with his/her intention, which is obviously important to him/her, but the process is stalled. "The survival parts are still too strong," it says, or "still too little in contact with the self." Often one could also say in such situations, "the fear is still too large". Such statements obviously assume that it is the client's anxiety. However, what if the therapist's fear is unconsciously the same? What if, as a result, the way in which the therapist regulates his or her own feelings during the IoPT constellation, influences the client's process? Facilitators and therapists are mostly traumatized people themselves. It can be concluded from trauma research that it is likely that even their anxiety centers in the brain could be easily activated, and thereby their own survival strategies could be activated when they look closely at a client's trauma process. Even if they are already experienced therapists and even if they have already worked on their own traumata.

How do we enable ourselves as a therapist / facilitator to make the process as effective as possible for our clients? A workshop about the regulation and dysregulation of emotions, by both, the client and the therapist in a mix of theory, observation, experience and reflection, with a lot of input for your own practice.
