Friday 2nd March, 2012, 7.15-9.15 pm, in LONDON
SYMBIOSIS & AUTONOMY
Trans-Generational Trauma and the unconscious connection between
bonding and trauma
with Professor Franz Ruppert (Professor of Psychology)
Please Note that the Venue has changed. It is now:
The Drama Theatre, The Institute of Education, 20 Bedford Way, London WC1H 0AL – participants on the workshop have free entry to the Lecture.
Traumatic experiences cause the psyche to split. That is the essence of trauma: the experiences of helplessness and terror are split off and rendered unconscious, thus remaining unresolved.
In this lecture Professor Ruppert will present his findings and theoretical developments over the past 15 years on the topic of trauma, its relationship to bonding and attachment, and how the unresolved effects of traumatic experiences are passed from generation to generation, with sometimes devastating effect. Ruppert’s theoretical developments show that ‘symbiotic trauma’, the potential trauma when a child attempts to bond with a parent who is carrying unresolved split-off trauma, has profound implications for the development of autonomy for the child, their ability to form relationships, and ultimately to bond well with their own children.
Professor Ruppert’s work makes a radical and important contribution to our ongoing understanding of trauma, and most importantly on how to work effectively and safely with trauma using the constellations process originally developed by Bert Hellinger.
Franz Ruppert teaches his theories and practice in many countries, and has authored four books in German, two of which have been published in English, with a third in production. He presents his work at many conferences and lecture programmes throughout the world, including, in 2009, at a conference on Trans-Generational Trauma organised by Confer in London.PLEASE NOTE: IF YOU ARE ATTENDING THE WORKSHOP WITH FRANZ ON 1/2/3 MARCH THIS INCLUDES ATTENDANCE AT THE LECTURE, SO YOU DO NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR THE LECTURE.
