PSYCHODRAMA & TRAUMASEXOLOGY

12.04.2024 - 14.04.2024 Sofia

An interactive introduction to Traumasexology
in combination with Psychodrama

conducted by
 Peter John Schouten

Trainer, Educator and Supervisor (TES) in Psychodrama and Psychotherapist (ECP)

and Loes Stolker

Trainer and Educator in Psychodrama and Traumasexology

Goal:
 

In this workshop, you will learn to look at clients through a 'Traumasexological' lens. You learn to see how the damage and consequences manifest themselves in your consultation room and you learn to recognize the inner structure of a human after sexual abuse. You also learn what you can do as a supervisor. You learn about the ‘lost second’ how an experience can become timeless and placeless and how, without awareness, it still determines the entire life. You will be introduced to methods to bring the content of this second into reality.

Topics covered:

  • The Moment (the shock etc.),
  • the Damage (difference with consequences),
  • Traumasexuality (about the perpetrator imprint: about sexual and gender identity),
  • Mental paralysis (about the frozen no, about paralysis and muteness, division, and being occupied)

For: care providers, therapists, psychodramatists, psychologists, counselors, and experts by experience.
Do you guide people with (sexual) childhood trauma in any setting? Then this workshop will be an indispensable manual for you. The complex problems that this target group has to solve, require counselors (m/f) who know themselves and have knowledge of Traumasexology.

Content:
Traumasexology brings you into contact with the comprehensive, serious damage that is caused by sexual abuse and teaches you to understand in depth what needs to happen in the healing process. Childhood abuse and sexual abuse leave deep marks on the personality.
What is the damage to the inner structure after a major sexual experience in childhood, how can you observe the effects and what can you do about it with psychodrama and/or constellations?

Short description and benefits:
An important tool for guidance is the more than thirty psychodramatic setups and see and find opportunities to really do something about the inner damage caused by sexual abuse.
In the workshops we work with various models that help to get your clients in touch with the damaged inner self, for example:

-The model of the occupation
- Dissociation as a response to the occupier
- The sexual pins (an imprint of the perpetrator's needs)
- The carousel of guilt, shame, bagatel, and secrets

Concepts
Traumasexology is a new science that describes in detail the complex damage that is caused by sexual abuse and demonstrates the consequences of the damage. The consequences that have now been discovered are mental paralysis, traumasexuality, and the thematic life movements that result from it. These are clearly visible in the auto-psychodramas in which victims play out their unresolved damage in everyday life.
Psychodrama is the science that explores the truth with the elementary drama techniques from the Greek theater. This concerns personal relationships, individual worlds and the social structures within which people function. Psychodrama is a powerful tool in processing sexual trauma because it connects with the playful, magical person. The vision of the inspiration of human behavior and the way of working on stage both function as a bridge between people's own virtual world and the reality of existence.
Providing assistance with the healing process of sexual abuse is an art and skill. For clients, it is not only about bringing a painful story into reality but also about getting rid of a sexual occupier that, like a parasite, influences all facets of their lives. The damaged basic human functions must also be restored and one's own identity rediscovered. As a supervisor of these complex processes, in-depth knowledge is indispensable, but not enough. The counselor himself is the most important instrument in a healing care relationship.
