Unresolved complex trauma compromises neural functioning. It can lead to hyperarousal, overwhelm, and shut down. The human nervous system has a built-in protection mechanism to manage dangerous situations. It is not only the brain that goes into a vigilant state of bracing for danger – it is the body and social engagement system as well. Both the brain and the autonomic nervous system (ANS) play a profound role in our emotional and physiological responses to stress and trauma. Psychological safety and connection underpin the neurobiology of the social engagement system, which is foundational to helping people with histories of trauma heal. Addressing states of dysregulation and avoiding re-enactment of conditioned responses in the nervous system when working with survivors of trauma lies at the heart of connection and engagement. This applies to engaging and developing the potential of the healthcare workforce as well, as many of them have experiences of trauma, either directly or vicariously from working with people who suffer from a history of complex trauma.
We are being called to bring together diverse findings and ideas from an array of disciplines that expand our understanding of the human experience. This interactive workshop, which integrates findings from contemporary neuroscience, trauma, epigenetics, mind-body research, integrative wellness, and human development, is an introduction to understanding the nervous system of people who have histories of complex trauma. It teaches ways to engage human beings experiencing distress, as well as approaches for helping them transition into a state where they are more likely engage in new ways of thinking and being. Understanding the neurobiology of trauma and its impact provides valuable information to not only understand its symptoms but also to guide approaches to engagement that facilitate psychological safety and healing.
