Join Zoe Lodrick for a morning session discussing understanding and/or working therapeutically with interpersonal psychological trauma.

This session will cover

The neurobiology of threat:

• why people do not usually react in ‘logical’ or ‘active’ ways when faced with intimate interpersonal threats
• the impact of the lack of understanding of why the person did not behave ‘logically and actively’, on the individual him or herself (often resulting in guilt, shame and feelings of responsibility), and potentially on judgment from others (compounding the guilt and shame)

Vulnerability to repeat victimisation:

• neurobiology will be used to explain how, once a person is interpersonally traumatised, they are very vulnerable to being targeted and traumatised again.

Zoe will also be delivering a second session on the same day in the afternoon The Psychology of the Offender (booking at https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/the-psychology-of-the-offender-tickets-705938369667?aff=oddtdtcreator)
