Description
Many people who access mental health services have histories of complex trauma arising from early experiences. These experiences may include parentification, enmeshment or invalidation as well as emotional, physical and sexual abuses and neglect. The brains and nervous systems of infants and children are powerfully influenced by early relationships and this course seeks to illustrate ways that we neurobiologically adapt to our early experiences. The same property of the brain that allows it to be so profoundly affected by early experiences can be harnessed in the service of recovery from complex relational trauma.Mental health workers can utilise this in their everyday interactions with consumers.
