SUMMARY:University of Minnesota - Twin Cities
DESCRIPTION:\n\n Sponsored by Spanish and Portuguese Studies, Department of
	 Neuroscience, CLA Office of the Dean, and Institute for Advanced Study







During the past decade an enormous amount has been learned about the neurob
	iology of trauma and the nature of memory in trauma survivors. Drawing fro
	m his ground-breaking work The Body Keeps The Score, Dr. Bessel van der Ko
	lk will explore the clinical implications of these discoveries and a range
	 of new approaches based on the research. \n\n Recent neuroimaging studies
	 suggest where memories are stored in the brain and the possible mechanism
	s for the recovery of traumatic memories. While ordinary memory is an acti
	ve and constructive process, traumatic memories are stored as dissociated 
	sensory and perceptual fragments of the experience. Depending on the age a
	t which the trauma occurs and the social support systems of the victim, me
	mories are constructed differently. \n\n We will cover the profound effect
	s of trauma on cognition, affect regulation, and on the development of “se
	lf” and interactions with others. You will learn how trauma and disruption
	s in attachment bonds affect the development of identity, and how this is 
	expressed socially as difficulties in affect modulation, destructive behav
	ior against self and others and in negotiating intimacy. \n\n We will cove
	r how childhood trauma affects the development of self-esteem, the capacit
	y to identify and negotiate personal needs, and the ability to relate effe
	ctively with others. Since traumatic imprints are stored in subcortical br
	ain areas and are largely divorced from verbal recall, the somatic experie
	ncing of trauma-related sensations and affects is a central focus. \n\n Yo
	u will learn how neurofeedback, yoga, theater, IFS and EMDR can help resol
	ve the traumatic past and discuss the integration of these approaches duri
	ng different stages of treatment.\n\n \n\n This CLA Interdisciplinary Coll
	aborative Workshop seeks to better understand the impacts of traumatic mem
	ory upon individualsand societies and to critically engage the issues of h
	ow we come to terms with and heal from trauma, seek accountability for hum
	anrights abuses that led to severe trauma, and mitigate future traumatizat
	ion. The workshop explores the long-term effects oftraumatic experiences a
	s varied as war and dictatorship, terrorist attacks and state terrorism, g
	enocide, captivity, and sexual abuse,with the understanding that an interd
	isciplinary understanding of memory and traumatization can illuminate the 
	pathwaysbetween artistic production and healing.\n\n \n\n
