Title: Unspoken Secrets and Nonverbal Elements in Intergenerational Transmission of Trauma and its Relation to Addiction
Presenter: Karla Lizette Gomez, M.S.
Date/Time: Wednesday, October 19, 2022 7:30 pm - 9:00 pm
Location: via Zoom from Dallas, Texas Credit Hours: 1.5 CME hours
Description:
Through a previously conducted study the presenter discovered that a relationship exists between the unmourned trauma from ancestors or parents and the narcissistic loss in individuals struggling with substance abuse. The presenter proposes ideas on how to approach individuals struggling with trauma that cannot be spoken or cognized, and reenact trauma through repetition and can worked-through preverbally. The presenter will focus on intergenerational transmission of trauma and the construction of a narrative within the individual.
Learning Objectives:
-
Identify links between intergenerational trauma and psychoanalytic conceptualizations of loss to addiction;
-
Demonstrate how the process of ego splitting that appears in drug addiction is related to the intergenerational transmission of trauma.
-
Identify whether or not nonverbal and unspoken trauma in the individual is in relation to unresolved parental childhood trauma.
