Gestalt workshop: Understanding trauma and addiction in a relational Gestalt approach – Rafael Cortina
Traumatic childhood and life events shape the way individuals view themselves and the world, which directly affects relationships, self-perception, coping skills, self-esteem, etc. Unfortunately, a common and initially effective way to cope with the impact of trauma and adjust to the world is through addictive behavior. They provide temporary relief and anesthetize emotional and relational pain. This workshop offers an in-depth exploration of how traumatic experiences can contribute to addictive patterns and behaviors, while also exploring how addiction can serve as a coping mechanism for unresolved trauma.
Through experiential exercises, group discussions, modeling sessions and theoretical insights, this training will focus on teaching a clinical model of trauma and addiction treatment within a Gestalt/relational approach to help clients develop their capacity to explore the boundaries of contact and build new experiences that can lead to opportunities for growth and recovery.
