Having recently begun to understand psychological and emotional symptoms as at least in part traceable to developmental, complex and/or acute traumata, new experiential interventions have been endorsed by leaders in the field, emphasizing a â??bottom upâ? rather than a â??top downâ? approach to trauma treatment. These therapies are designed to override the brainâ??s early structural patterns, engaging its inherent capacity for neuroplasticity-essentially rewiring it with positive experiences. From her 40-year career as a Music Therapist, Guided Imagery and Hypnotherapy Practitioner, Family Therapy and Addictions Specialist and Integrative Psychotherapist, Ellen has acquired a wide range of therapeutic interventions ranging from the use of meta-communication and indirect suggestion, to double bind theory, 12-step recovery, Jin Shin Jitsu, pranayama, gestalt, yoga therapy, shamanic practices and more. A popular instructor in both professional and lay venues, Ellen has the ability to tie seemingly unrelated strands together as she offers a full plate of possibilities for clinicians. In this session, Ellen will share anecdotal case studies to illustrate the impact of these interventions, as she takes the students through an array of mindful, varied and creative methods for over-riding the negatively biased, traumatized brain
