0104 - Structural Dissociative Theory: A Therapeutic Approach to Working with Trauma Parts
Course Description
Hours: 12
This workshop was previously called Working with Parts: Healing the Child(ren) Within
This workshop introduces an understanding of how trauma can result in varying degrees of dissociation and fragmentation of one’s inner experience. This workshop draws elements from different parts work/ego state models such as structural dissociation, transactional analysis, internal family systems (IFS) and others. The presentation will introduce:
- Conceptualizing inner states.
- Singular verse split subconscious states.
- Dissociation as a division of the personality.
- Dissociative parts of personality.
- The role of ‘phobic reactions’ within parts.
- Understanding the ‘self-protective’ roles of different parts or ego states including shame.
- Tools to support relationship with fragmented ego state/parts of one’s inner world, foster a means to integration, inner coherence, regulation and the capacity for self-soothing.
- Treatment interventions for overcoming the phobia of dissociative parts.
- Specific interactive strategies and exercises working with ego state parts.
This workshop offers a review and comparison of different parts work models and does not constitute formal training in any specific approach to parts work.
