This livestream event (sponsored by MindHealth360 in collaboration with the How To Academy) features a fascinating conversation between one of the world’s pre-eminent #trauma experts, psychiatrist Dr. Bessel van der Kolk, and psychotherapist Benjamin Fry. Learn how traumatic stress, especially from childhood, can impact our brain, body, behaviour, relationships and mental health, even long after the traumatic stress is over.
In this conversation:
- learn how trauma is rooted in our physiology
- understand how traumatic stress can impact our personality, behaviour, relationships and mental health
- find out about the latest developments in the nascent field of trauma research (which is surprisingly only 40 years old!)
- hear about some of the latest and best treatments for trauma
- learn about the different parts of the brain (limbic, reptilian, brain stem, prefrontal cortex) and their relationship to traumatic stress
- find out about mirror neurons and why they are essential to our sense of threat and safety
- understand the difference between a healthy response to traumatic stress and a maladaptive one (hint: it’s all about timing)
