DARe  4: Wound to Wellness: Working with Victim / Perpetrator Dynamics and Disorganized Attachment

Presented by Diane Poole Heller, PhD – August 2 - 4, 2017

 

Creative practical tips for working with your most challenging clients

Do you know someone who:

• May disconnect or pick a fight when true intimacy begins to emerge – often without knowing why?
• Yearns for, but deeply fears, relationships because they expect them to be dangerous? Scary? Full of Conflict? Confusing? Overwhelming?
• Shifts moods abruptly and acts out uncontrollable cycles of panic and/or rage?
• May have trouble communicating clearly or expressing realistic needs in an empowered way?

Find out creative practical ways to assess and address these patterns personally and clinically by learning about the residual interpersonal effects of living in a chronic threat response due to Victim-Perpetrator dynamics, Dissociation alternating with Flooding and Fragmentation, and Disorganized Attachment styles.

Learn to:

• Repair ruptured boundaries to enhance a sense of personal safety
• Uncouple two major psycho-biological instinctive drives  1) the need to attach and 2) the need to survive threat  that become interrupted and interwoven to block the health and functioning in both systems.
• Revive embodied aliveness as high arousal states causing dissociation are cleared and discharged
• Create appropriate therapeutic empathy and avoid misuse of empathy when it triggers disintegration
• Help clients complete the fight/flight or freeze responses in a way that creates lasting empowerment by discharging ANS over-activation and healing the power wound.
• Resolve relational approach/avoidance stuckness that may remain long after the original scary or confusing family dynamics are over.
• Differentiate victim-perpetrator fusion and release toxic interjects to allow experience of the untainted self
• Understand Savior, Incompetent Protector, and Perpetrator Trauma Transferences and how they may affect your therapeutic relationship
• Help clients return to their core intactness as they rediscover and embody Secure Attachment from the distress of disturbed attachment
• Restore the missing resource of a sense of protection and relative safety.
