Historical trauma is the trauma that occurs in families and
is then passed on to the following generation unless the trauma, or soul
wounding, is dealt with. After years of research and clinical experience with
diverse populations, Eduardo Duran has come to understand that wounding of the
soul has been endured by most people in the world. The lessons he has learned
from this work are relevant to the majority of people seeking help in therapy.
Saturday: Effects of the Colonial Template on Indigenous
Peoples
This discussion focuses on how colonialism and historical
trauma have impacted indigenous peoples. The workshop draws parallels between
Native Americans and African Americans by analyzing the soul wound through
indigenous epistemologies. Archetypal ideas are also integrated into the
discussion in order to facilitate cultural bridging.
Sunday: Clinical Applications Relevant to Healing the
Effects of Colonialism
Sunday's material focuses on the clinical applications of
therapies that are relevant in healing the soul wound and the effects of
colonialism. A grounded preparation of the therapist is part of the workshop
discussion, as well as relevant case material. Archetypal concepts are used in
order to facilitate understanding within a Western framework.
Cost: $275
