Whatever Happened to Parental Authority?

Parental AuthorityBy Rich Simon It seems astonishing that even just two or three decades ago, parents not only pretty much knew what was expected of them to turn their offspring into civilized adults, but they could actually count on society to back them up. Even more astounding, kids seemed to understand this, too. Even if they rebelled against, yelled about, or sullenly resented how “unfair” adults were, they seemed to acknowledge adult authority and realize that they would just have to wait until they turned 18 to get for themselves the keys to the kingdom of grown-up independence.

528 Chronic Pain and Trauma

Janina Fisher Janina Fisher • Saturday Afternoon

Many clients with harsh or traumatic childhood histories suffer physical pain that defies medical diagnosis and conventional treatments. Often our efforts to address the trauma-related emotional issues are frustrated by their current physical problems. What if the pain symptoms and treatment resistance are actually both expressions of their early trauma?

In this workshop, we’ll approach chronic physical symptoms in trauma patients as unprocessed traumatic memories held in the body. We’ll explore techniques drawn from Sensorimotor Psychotherapy and clinical hypnosis to help clients locate the origins of their pain in the events of their past. You’ll learn how to teach clients to “hear” the communication from their symptoms, connect with the child holding the body memory, and access the “missing experience” that the physical pain is expressing.

Janina Fisher, Ph.D., is assistant director of the Sensorimotor Psychotherapy Institute, an instructor at the Trauma Center in Boston, and a former instructor at Harvard Medical School. She lectures and writes about integrating neuroscience research and body-centered approaches into traditional psychotherapy. To learn more, visit http://www.janinafisher.com.
