IAGP WORKSHOP: Unfinished Healing: Tackling Lingering Effects of Trauma Post-Therapy.

May 11, 2025 @ 12:00 pm - 2:00 pm UTC

IAGP WORKSHOP: Unfinished Healing: Tackling Lingering Effects of Trauma Post-Therapy.

By Dr. Carlos Raimundo

Summary: This webinar addresses the lingering effects of trauma that persist despite extensive therapy, offering an innovative approach grounded in neuroscience, Morenian principles, and psychodrama techniques. It focuses on individuals grappling with personal, generational, or societal trauma, aiming to enhance understanding of why healing remains incomplete and how to support transformative recovery. Key topics include differentiating trauma experiences from victim identities, addressing outdated protective mechanisms, and exploring J.L. Moreno’s concept of growth as a birthing process. It also highlights the role of the therapist as a metaphorical midwife in trauma recovery and a neuroscience-informed perspective on managing pain. Participants will engage with case presentations (excluding personal issues) and contribute to discussions, fostering a collaborative exploration of trauma management. This webinar offers theoretical insights and practical tools, encouraging constructive debate while equipping therapists with strategies to assist clients in achieving meaningful healing.

SUNDAY 11th of MAY -12 to 2 PM CEST

Addressing trauma is one of the most critical forms of support therapists can provide. Everyone’s response to trauma is unique, with experiences ranging from opportunities for personal growth to profound challenges that can feel insurmountable.
This webinar offers a theoretical perspective grounded in neuroscience, Morenian principles, and expressive techniques from psychodrama and the Play of Life. It focuses on individuals affected by personal, generational, or societal trauma who, despite undergoing extensive therapy, continue to experience lingering effects that hinder their well-being and struggle to achieve the elusive goal of freedom from trauma.
Participants will have the opportunity to present cases (excluding personal issues) to illustrate the theories and techniques discussed.
While this approach may be seen as controversial by some professionals, it is designed to provoke thoughtful exploration. Participants will be invited to provide feedback and share differing perspectives, fostering healthy and constructive debate as part of this research into trauma management.
Topics covered will include:
• Experiencing Trauma vs. Living as a Victim: Differentiating between being a victim of abuse or neglect and adopting a victim identity, with a critical examination of the term “Survivor of…”.
• Leading Therapeutic Questions: Understanding the importance of remaining aware of leading the client and avoiding unintentionally planting ideas.
• Evolving Protective Mechanisms: Recognising when protective strategies that were once beneficial are no longer needed and exploring their evolution.
• The Morenian Concept of the Birth Process: Exploring J.L. Moreno’s insights into growth and transformation.
• The Role of the Companion or Therapist as a Midwife in Trauma Recovery: Using the metaphorical role of the midwife to facilitate healing.
• A Neurobiological Approach: Addressing pain and suffering through a neuroscience-informed lens.
This webinar provides a thoughtful and innovative approach to managing persistent trauma-related suffering. By combining theoretical insights with practical tools, it fosters meaningful dialogue and equips participants with strategies to support those struggling with trauma’s lasting effects.
