Session 6: Collaborative and Proactive Solutions: Understanding and Helping Behaviorally Challenging Kids (July 31-Aug 4)

Egg Harbor, WI US
July 31, 2017 to August 4, 2017

Traditionally, programs for men who batter have not included a focus on their own victimization issues. Yet studies have shown that partner-violent men have insecure attachment issues more than non-partner violent men. One half or more have childhood trauma histories related to direct maltreatment and exposure to IPV. Such shame-based trauma causes problems with emotional regulation as well as in accessing conflict resolution skills.

 

This workshop provides an overview of treatment with men who batter and a rationale for the inclusion of shame-based trauma work with this population. Using group exercises and hands-on practice, detail about how shame-based trauma work can be integrated in treatment will be presented. Through interactive and experiential exercises, emphasis will be on understanding the trauma-shame connections from both a personal and professional perspective. Examples of shame-based treatment methodology, based in part on participant provided case examples, will provide a basis for discussion.

Monday Trigger warning; History of work with men who batter; Trauma/shame connection; Self-protections and shields; Guided imagery exercise; “Pare and Share” discussion; Group discussion

 

Tuesday The shame/violence connection; Integrating shame work; Practicing vulnerability; Shame self-affirmations; When to introduce shame work
