Developmental Trauma Close Up

Our previous article “The Repair of Early Trauma: A Bottom Up Approach” described Bruce Perry’s ‘neurosequential’ approach to working with early trauma.

The article also discussed how early separation, loss, abuse and neglect leads to something known as ‘Developmental Trauma’. Developmental Trauma is a seven piece jigsaw puzzle – understanding and repairing each piece of the
puzzle is key to helping traumatised children heal.

Porges, Ph.D, for this exclusive webinar where we will explore the topic of Polyvagal Theory – a theory that links the evolution of the mammalian autonomic nervous system to social behavior and emphasizes the importance of physiological state in the expression of behavioral problems and psychiatric disorders. The theory is leading to innovative treatments based on insights into the mechanisms mediating symptoms observed in several behavioral, psychiatric, and physical disorders.
