Mindfulness Built for Two: The Child State Unbound | 3 CE Credits

Jun. 14, 2025

10:00 AM - 1:15 PM (EST)

Virtual Event
3 CE Credits
Re-experiencing distressing events is fundamental to psychotherapy. Whether a memory comes from the previous night or is a fragment from fifty years ago, it can be brought into the present and serve as a catalyst for long-awaited change. This session will explore and include partner exercises demonstrating how to turn past trials into present troubles before exploring five interventions that transform these ordeals into emotionless facts.
Re-experiencing distressing events is the bedrock of psychotherapy. Whether memory is a recollection from the night before or a fragment from fifty years ago, the incident can be brought into the now and serve as the opening act for long-awaited change.  Partner exercises will show how to make past trials present troubles before studying five interventions that turn ordeals into emotionless facts.  A demonstration will show how to link the child-in-memory with the Witness state—the ultimate healing partner. Neuroscience findings will be reviewed that suggest emotional elements of early events can be erased (not just suppressed).
