Keynote: The nature and process of compassion focused therapy for the traumatised mind
Keynote
Session Program
This talk will explore the evolutionary and biopsychosocial basis for compassion. Understanding its roots in evolved function enable insight into the physiological regulators or our minds an offer important insight into how compassion can interact with the physiological scars left by trauma. The talk will explore different aspects of motivation- based brain state theory and how we can develop the multiple dimensions of compassion to address more complex states of mind like threat based minds.
The talk will then explore threat brain states, using techniques such as dialoguing, guided discovery and mind mapping to help individuals recognise trauma as a multi textured experience. Clarification of the different textures of trauma facilitate specific compassion directed interventions to those textures
