- Test Module 7 Making Friends with Defenses with Sylvia Israel 00:00:00
This module focuses on the Defenses people use at the time of trauma to protect themselves and to ensure survival, which then become part of the trauma-survivor’s role repertoire into adulthood. Categories of defenses include: survival, obsessions, compulsions, addictions and eating disorders, as well as those that are simply maladaptive, but deeply rooted. While they worked initially, we see how they can become pathological when they are no longer needed and do not support growth — i.e., true spontaneity and creativity.
Module includes:
Video lectures - 24 min
Practical video Demonstration - 52 min
Handouts - 22 min
Practicum - 30 min
