Part 1: Building internal attachment bonds: overcoming self-alienation by Janina Fisher
A child with an abusive caregiver will have a fragmented sense of self and disown themselves as “bad” or “unlovable”. Their painful failure of self-acceptance results in lifelong shame, self-loathing and difficulty self-soothing as well as dissociative symptoms and disorders. Trauma-informed stabilization treatment (TIST) focuses on cultivating a clients mindful awareness of their fragmented self and disowned experience. You will learn how to guide clients to connect emotionally with their trauma-related child selves so they are able to feel an internal sense of calm and safety.
Part 2: The dancing part of the self: introduction to the Dialogical self-theory by Hubert Hermans
This theory uses the assumption that the self functions as a society of mind or “I-positions” which can be personal (e.g. I as a dedicated teacher) or external (e.g. my loving father). You will learn about this theory in more detail and how it can be applied to the field of mental health. There will be a focus on themes such as individual happiness, eudemonic happiness, rumination, loneliness and self-acceptance. To broaden the limited version of the Western self-ideal you will also be introduced to four identity levels; I an individual, I as a group member, I as a member of all humanity and I as a participant of the earth.
Part 3: Dialogues between different parts of self by Leslie Greenberg
There are four main dialogues between parts of the self. Conflict splits, Self-interruptive splits, unfinished business and anguish and emotional suffering. You will learn how to distinguish between the dialogues and recognize when to apply techniques such as two-chair dialogues, empty chair dialogues and self-soothing practices.
