Bob Johnson - Unblocking Frozen Terror - September 11, 2017 - CPH

Using the Trauma Triad to Unblock the Frozen Terror, Dr Bob Johnson talks about how we can understand the relationship between trauma and psychosis and how all of us can help by using ‘‘verbal physiotherapy’. Replacing 'social defeat' with 'social delight' - for all. When children are subjected to traumatic events and unbearable stress, their frontal lobes go “off line," leading to their perception of reality becoming warped in order to survive. That warping, which can last into adulthood, is not an expression of mental illness, but rather a continuation of those survival patterns learned as a child. ‘Verbal physiotherapy’ is needed to restart the frontal lobes. Therapeutic efforts need to build on fundamental human values: kindness, openness, respect, dignity, truth, trust and consent – NO force. Jørn Ditlev Eriksen from Psykovision in Copenhagen gives a 6 minute introduction. psykovision.dk truthtrustconsent.org
