Neurobiologically Informed Trauma Therapy with Children and Adolescents

Understanding Mechanisms of Change

“… When the attachment process breaks down in situations of deprivation or trauma, development of the nervous system is compromised, necessitating a therapeutic context for treatment and repair.”

“ … describes the search for identity as the major task of adolescence. … The early development of the mind/body concept of self begins within the attachment relationship of the infant and primary caregiver …”

… Also presented is the most recent knowledge of the role of the right hemisphere (RH) in development and therapy. Right brain communication, and how to recognize the non-verbal symbolic and unconscious, affective processes will be explained, along with examples of how the therapist can utilize art-making, media, tools, and self to engage in a two-person biology.
