An iceberg floats upon a vast expanse of ocean. Beneath the surface sits a hidden mountain, the structure supporting and keeping the iceberg afloat. The iceberg invites, “Come close, but not too close, or I’ll sink you. When I sink you, I will feel momentarily safe from harm, but I will remain alone and adrift in a dark, inhospitable ocean”. This metaphor illustrates the experience of trauma clients. What is visible to the world belies what is hidden from view, the foundation upon which fears and defenses rest.
Betrayal trauma, abuse and neglect impacts bio-psycho-social development, attachment style and relational capacity. Internal conflicts are driven by competing narratives and perspectives, with the shared goal of safety and survival. However, what was once effective and vital for survival as a child, becomes detrimental as an adult. Outmoded protective behaviors and beliefs serve to increase vulnerability and isolation, such as sinking any ship that sails too close.
This webinar navigates the inner world of the client from a parts perspective. The roles, functions, and interactions between ‘Getting on with normal life parts’ (Apparently Normal Parts), and ‘Traumatized parts’ (Emotional Parts), will be examined.
Practical strategies to facilitate healing through relationship building between parts and experimenting with new ways to negotiate relationships within the client’s internal world and external world will be explored.
This course is based on the recorded webinar, The Battle Within: A Parts Framework to Heal Internal Wounds and Conflicts created by Naomi Halpern in 2021.
