Psychodrama and trauma training in Racine, Wis., on Feb. 16

[BARNETT WEISS]

Dear Karen:
   
  Sounds like a terrific workshop and a great price. 
   
  While I am certainly a proponent of action technologies and feel that the group setting used properly is definitely the way to go with nearly all psychological and social problems, there are other highly effective models which rely mostly on verbal exchanges playing with imagery, sound, smell, kinesthetic imagined and applied pressures, and access to feelings to achieve their results which are often very rapid and long lasting often resolving long standing traumas in a brief series of sessions or even at times in one session. As I say, they are at the very least in comparison to the group setting, inefficient and do not address the issue of the larger society and community building aspects of the group action setting. 
   
  This research you mention, does it include NLP, EMDR, EFT, the work of Milton H. Erickson,MD and a host of others who followed the hypnosis dissasociation reassociation model? I am not familiar with Kate Hudgins containment model. 
   
  ERickson, the NLP people as well as elements of EMDR and EFT structure the 
  re-experience of the trauma either partializing it or adding some dissasociational feature and then bringing everything back together in the reintegration process. 
   
  Ron Robbins www.panicproject.com in his work ending Panic Attacks in a single one and a half hour long session also does something along that line beginning with what he calls a "body starter."  He brings it all together later finding the roots and healing them allowing the panic attacks to be attached now to some sense memory that can be healed. 
   
  OF course there is the work in Family Constellation which can add another dimension of the Ancestral roots of the trauma healing those who may have contributed to it or perpetrated it themselves. This final aspect is often left out in many of the other approaches, and when it is, the perpetrator most often remains a reject and both metaphorically and spiritually contains some of the healing energy of the protagonist that remains an insurmountable closeted wound, so to speak, until the perpetrator is healed or set to rest and accepted. 
  I opened a lot there and maybe we can have a discussion about it somehow some time. Blessings, Bud

  New brain research is clearly showing that talk therapy has limitations in working with trauma. These discoveries not only demonstrate the brain-body-spirit connection with trauma treatment but also why talk therapy has such difficulty in resolving trauma triggers due to abuse, violence, combat and other horror. The future points to the growing value of experiential work, including the Therapeutic Spiral Model, developed by Kate Hudgins and its central intervention, the Containing Double. You will learn:
