I hope Dr Shalev in Jerusalem first checks with the traumatised patient whether they have a reasonable relationship with their family and asks for their permission to bring their family in because their attachment history may not be compatible with that strategy. They just may become re-traumatized. I did some (easy to read) research about such issues. If people are interested in this (easy to read) research they just need to Google my name: Suzette Misrachi. I really enjoyed listening to today’s program. It was very affirming and reinforcing of any previous knowledge I had so many thanks to you of all!
I hope Dr Shaleve in Jerusalem first checks with the traumatised patient whether they have a reasonable relationship with their family and asks for their permission to bring their family in because their attachment history may not be incompatible. They just may become re-traumatised as some families can have that affect if their family, for example, was toxic. This is particularly the case if one or both parents or even some siblings have a serious mental illness. I did some research on the unacknowledged trauma (and grief) of competent non-disordered adult children of parents with a mental illness and this is where I am coming from with my concern. If people are interested in this (easy to read) research they just need to Google my name: Suzette Misrachi where they can also locate my email address if they have any questions about my research, brief articles or resource website.

Thank you as always for sharing these insights and strategies.
Today I particularly liked to hear again–Allan Schore’s statement that with trauma therapy, the greater effectiveness
happens when RELATIONSHIP TRUMPS INSIGHT. You can flash all kinds of knowledge around and get nowhere with
a traumatized client. And if they see right through your inability to relate to their situation–there goes the *therapeutic* relationship. I experienced a group therapy being run by a Dr. who himself had a disorganized attachment, was
teaching a cognitive protocol, and I called him on it with consternation about the disconnect in INTERaction. He then
pretended *interest* in my objection and thereafter ignored it and me, like nothing was said. Intellectuals use thought constructs to avoid relating.
Bowlby’s principles of how attachment styles play out into adulthood need to be taught to pregnant mothers(and dads) just as much as our children need to learn about the principles of growing money to *make it* in our society.
On the lines of hearing from the right brain’s intuition and the body’s manifestation, I have a story. My good friend and an artist
has been working on herself through art. Recently she did a self-portrait. I wanted to see it because I have a fascination with
what can be gleaned from something so personal as art. I gained a tremendous insight into her current state of affairs through her portrait! I recognized her face but saw heightened anxiety and tenseness in it that I never noticed is present,as she hides so masterfully when we meet face to face. I positively know her better now than I did. Oh.
I want to ask you to expand on what it is you do– to down-regulate fear shame and rage. Give examples and scenarios.
Thank you for this informative session on how attachment is impacted by trauma. I did not know the long lasting dysregulation impact of the maternal level of the hormone cortisol behaviorally for the developing fetus, prenatal to postnatal and onward into preschool, elementary school and if not addressed thru our remaining life.
This may be contributing factor in those diagnosed with Hashimoto Thyroiditis.
I was wondering the same as one of the first things one learns about thyroid conditions is that they involve a dysregulation in the HPA axis. Also, that there often is a genetic component.
Did not see the whole session unfortunately but what I saw inspired me and provide new ways to deal with my client. I especially like the part of using the hands as support , the positive connotation of client’s efforts and not least the advice on explore with the client where is safe to go in their psychos map. Thank you
The information regarding cortisol in pregnancy was very enlightening. I work in the prevention side of drug and alcohol abuse and this information is so helpful but underutilized in my field. If we really want to make true change we must continue this knowledge and begin investing in this type of information instead of just say no and refusal type strategies – plus waiting till the teen years. Thank you so much!

I will really keep my clients up to date on what we know about the brain and give them choices to find out what will help them. Using the clients skills know how and body.
Is this the first or second session?
If so I missed the first video which I really wanted to see as trauma has affected me. Is there a way you could grant access to the first session again?
Thank you for this sea of knowledge. As a Biosynthesis Therapist, I too work closely with resources, validating the qualities and strenghts of the client. It is vital part of integration as the traumatized client tends to focus on survival ie negative thoughts and emotions. Also, it is a bridge to other parts in the person. I liked the point made regarding support in containing positive emotions.
Terrific inspiration from all present. Thank you so much!

Very interesting approaches that for the most part, I have been using with my patients. Thank you.
The video was interrupted towards the end so that I could not see the completion of the interviews. I’m not sure if you are aware of that. Just FYI.
