Description

This workshop, participants will delve deeper into their understanding of The Revised Trauma Egg and Resiliency Intervention, acquiring advanced knowledge and hands-on experience in its facilitation. Malchiodi, emphasized that creative arts therapies engage multiple senses simultaneously, facilitating a connection with aspects of the self that are often less accessible in conventional talk therapy, such as inner feelings and unconscious thoughts. (Malchiodi,2003)


This practical session enables attendees to actively engage in the process, fostering insights, encouraging self-reflection, and enhancing clinical comprehension within the realm of trauma. Guided by seasoned experts, this exploration promises to deliver a strengths-based perspective, offering valuable insights into:
– Comprehensive Trauma Assessment: The journey begins with a thorough examination of trauma’s multifaceted impact.
– Trauma Types and Depths: A wide range of traumatic experiences are examined, from major life-altering events to seemingly minor incidents, understanding the varying depths of their impact.
– Clinical Manifestations: Attendees study how trauma influences mental health, including neuropsychiatric disorders, depression, anxiety, and suicidal ideation.
– Intricate Layers: Different trauma timelines are explored, including experiences during fetal development, early childhood, intergenerational effects, and broader historical and ancestral contexts.
– Resilience: A key factor in relapse prevention, is identifying unresolved traumas, as research shows unresolved trauma significantly contributes to relapse in many mental health disorders.

 

Historically traditional models of addiction recovery and relapse prevention have failed to appropriately consider the role that unresolved trauma plays in an addicted individual’s attempt at recovery (Miller & Guidry, 2001;Zweben & Yeary, 2006).

Therefore Beyond its clinical utility for our clients, the Trauma Egg safeguards the well-being of professionals, helping them navigate vicarious trauma exposure and burnout while reducing relapse risks for those in recovery. Ultimately, it serves as a bridge from survivorship to thriving, a testament to the human spirit’s capacity to heal and flourish.
