This panel brings together three seasoned trauma clinicians to compare how Ericksonian methods, somatic therapies and energy psychology can work together in complex cases. Through lively discussion and case examples, they explore assessment, ego states, polyvagal-informed regulation, EFT, reenactment patterns, and ways to titrate activation without overwhelm. Participants also hear candid guidance on treating military veterans, supporting frontline workers, and protecting themselves from secondary traumatic stress, with practical tools for grounding, boundaries and post-traumatic growth.
This panel explores the Internal Family Systems (IFS) model, focusing on the idea of "parts" as subpersonalities that shape how individuals cope and relate. Speakers examine the roles of protectors and exiles, and how mindful, regulated states can foster change. They compare similar concepts from other models, including transactional analysis and object relations, and discuss tools like enactments and hypnosis to help clients access and work with their parts.
