Description
In this session, Dan Siegel will present a clinically grounded framework for understanding trauma by first distinguishing the mind from the brain. Building on that distinction, you will examine how trauma disrupts integration in both embodied and relational experience. Using the Interpersonal Neurobiology (IPNB) lens, Dan will frame healing as restoring integration to support regulation, resilience, and post-traumatic growth.
When integration is impaired, experience becomes organized around chaos and rigidity—core features of post-traumatic stress. In this session, you will dive into how healing involves restoring differentiation and linkage in the body and in relationships.
You’ll learn how to:
- Describe how the mind is distinct from the brain
- Identify the key features of impaired integration
- Name the five aspects of integrative flow
