Description
Description:
There is tremendous confusion in work with traumatic memories, often leaving clients and their therapists confused and insecure. In this lecture we will discuss the different types of memory (both explicit/conscious & implicit/unconscious) in resolving traumatic reactions, while avoiding the creation of “false memories.”
Educational Objectives:
- List and comprehend the different types of memory systems.
- Explain how to work with procedural (“body”) memories.
- Demonstrate how to avoid the pitfalls of evoking spurious memories.
