Free Information Session: The Legacy of Trauma

Free Information Session: The Legacy of Trauma
When: Thursday, December 12, 2:00 pm
Where: Oxford Seniors Club, 31 Ellis Street, Oxford, NS
Open to anyone who is interested in learning more about the symptoms, the mechanics and the potential for healing the effects of PTSD, developmental trauma and intergenerational trauma.
The effects of trauma can deeply affect not only the survivors of traumatic events and situations but also the lives of those who are close to them. But those effects also tell us the story of how the person survived and the pathway they took to remain as safe and sane as possible in adverse circumstances.
This information session is intended to explain symptoms, the logic of behaviors when someone is triggered and the method of healing that has emerged over the last fifty years of research and treatment efforts.
This discussion is based on the work of Janina Fisher who has organized the work of some of the world’s leading experts in the field including Judith Herman, Bessel van der Kolk and Pat Ogden as well as approaches such as Internal Family Systems and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, into a coherent approach to healing the legacy of trauma.
Mary Ellen Stevenson is a Psychotherapist who has been practicing since 1997 in both Toronto and Nova Scotia. She is a candidate for certification in the Treatment of Complex Trauma through PESI. She lives in Oxford and can be reached at 902-397-2717.
