<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Abreaction is simply the re-connection of conscious
awareness with feelings and ideas that had been repressed. In the vast majority
of cases, in ordinary psychotherapy, this happens on occasion. I make the point
in Foundations of Psychodrama that emotions (sometimes laughter) is not the
goal, but rather a side-effect, a frequent accompaniment to the process.
Sometimes it's as gentle as an aha. Sometimes the tears that flow represent the
welcoming home that which has been split off and missed. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial> The next step of
course has been mentioned, that the challenge then is how do I integrate that
which I have found in the past to be absolutely unacceptable. Sometimes I'm
ready and there's almost no problem. Sometimes I have to do a good deal of
shadow work, as it has come to be called, to re-vision myself to recognize that
I'm more (whatever) than I thought, but it's okay. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial> I note some further types of
integration in my book.. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Trauma is a different thing---sort of the
difference between a broken bone and one that is not only broken, but the
fracture breaks through the skin and has become vulnerable to infection (i.e., a
"compound" fracture). It's far more than mere repression. Many other
primitive coping mechanisms have been energized.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial> The whole dynamic of
trauma has become more appreciated only since the late 1970s or early 1980s, and
many psychological theories developed before that time didn't really take this
into consideration. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial> The point is
that there are no procedures or processes that are good for every client. That
which may help A may be contraindicated for B. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV>Are we referring to re-traumatizing and abreaction interchangeably? My
sense of abreaction is that it is a<STRONG> </STRONG>type of catharsis, a
reliving of an experience in order to purge it of its emotional hold (often
unconscious hold) over client behaviors and attitudes and feelings etc. </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV>While abreaction could retraumatize a client, I suppose, it is certainly
not necessarily so - right??</DIV>

I will again send out my training schedule on the Therapeutic Spiral Model for
next year. these are NOT advanced courses for psychodrama. They
are basic courses that teach you how to use doubling, role reversal and
beginning directing skills safely so that the concerns that Adam brings up in
his last email are NOT repeated in a new generation of students. The
first course alone gives you a way to assess your client for individual,
group, couples or family therapy, whether a trauma survivor or not, what are
the strengths and weaknesses. It also allows you to DEFINE what roles
are needed to achieve a state of spontaneity as a researcher and clinician.
It is an invaluable skill for anyone who will ever direct a psychodrama.
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>now to blow my own horn for my sake, but for the sake of the many many
many protagonist who will be in your hands. I can get very excited about
this.....the sense of responsibility we have as directors, healers. It
comes from the mistakes I saw made and the ones I made as a young director.
I come now to a time of humbly generativity in passing on what I have
created. Join me in Charlottesville to learn simple safety that will
stay with you forever. </DIV>

<DIV>A NEW LOOK FOR TSM!!!</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Many people seem to be under the misperception that TSM is only for
advanced students. This is simply not true. In fact, given
that TSM stresses safety, safety, safety, it is actually one of the best
models for students new to psychodrama! Not only do you learn the
basic techniques of psychodrama--doubling, role reversal, and how to
direct.....but you learn how to do it safely. See our new Level One
training group for 2010. You can take one course, or you can join
the whole series for the year and be with a group of like minded people
studying the state of the art work on psychodrama and trauma together for
a year. Welcome Dr Kate. Go to <A
href="http://www.therapeuticspiral.org/" rel=nofollow
target=_blank>www.therapeuticspiral.org</A> for more information.
</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Our First New Level One Series in the Therapeutic Spiral Model Trauma
Training to Heal Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder </DIV>
<DIV>Starts in 2010 January---July-- December</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>January 15-17, 2010</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Role Theory: The Trauma Survivor's Intrapsychic Role Atom
</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>This weekend course teaches you 3 ways to assess the personality
structure of a trauma survivor with PTSD using role theory and using
people friendly terms that takes therapy out of the often pathological
view of DID, bipolar and other psychiatric disorders that trauma survivors
are labeled with as they struggle with symptoms like body memories,
flashbacks and anxiety attacks. You will learn a pen and paper tool,
an action role atom, and an art therapy collage--all creative ways for you
and your client to look at the impact of trauma on their brains and their
personality. This overview of the Therapeutic Spiral Model is then
put into psychodramatic action as you experience the roles of protagonist,
trained auxiliary ego and assistant leader. You do not need previous
psychodramatic experience to begin your training in TSM as it teaches you
the safest way to begin to learn psychodrama to keep your protagonist safe
at all times, while involving the entire group to make it a truly
therapeutic method for all members. </DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Cost: $425. 10%ASGPP discount 25 hours of
training. Housing available at local friends for $25/night or
at the English Inn for single or shared room of 99/night. </DIV>

<DIV>July 11-16 Summer Residential</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>The Prescriptive Roles of Containment</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>This 5 day summer residential workshop teaches students the all
important Prescriptive Roles of Scene 1 in all TSM psychodramas. To
prevent retraumatization in all psychodrama working with trauma, the
director learns to empower the protagonist and the group with the
Observing ego, the roles of restorative strengths, the Containing and Body
Doubles and the Manager of Defenses. When all of these roles are
enacted on the stage, what you find is that you have have, in fact,
DEFINED the state of spontaneity and the protagonist is able to stay in
the here and now. For many decades psychodramatists have said, how
can you tell if someone is spontaneous? Well this course teaches the
Prescriptive roles so that you can make sure that each and every
protagonist you direct is always in a state of spontaneity that can lead
to new creative action. Team practice in the TSM roles of director,
Assistant leader and Trained Auxiliary ego, as well as opportunities to be
a protagonist in safe psychodramas. </DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Cost: $1200 10% ASGPP discount. Shared living in
rented homes in the mountains of Virginia with a cook and massage
available. 60 hours of training</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>December 3-5 The Trauma Triangle</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>This weekend workshop introduces students to the TSM Triangles of the
Victim-Perpetrator-Abandoning Authority. During any traumatic
experience of overwhelming stress or violence, the personality structure
internalizes these three roles. Most people easily understand the
experience of victim and perpetrator, but the most important role is that
of being abandoned. Abandoned to the violence of emotional,
psychological, physical, sexual or spiritual abuse by mothers, fathers,
teachers, ministers, priests, and others teaching the child that she or he
is not worth love, care, support. In turn, we learn to abandon
ourselves to future violence, to eating disorders, to alcohol, to drugs,
to more benign neglect of lack of self care. This workshop teaches
how to identify your own trauma patterns by "walking the trauma triangle"
and then how to break the triangle by using the Prescriptive role and find
true self care. </DIV>
