Description
Childhood abuse and neglect leave victims with a legacy of overpowering memories and feelings as well as a neurological system that is damaged, limiting their ability to cope with life’s ups and downs. These clients turn to desperate measures, such as self-harm and addictive behavior to dull their bodies’ pain or heighten their alertness, suicidal thoughts to regain control over their lives and difficult emotions, and dissociative and borderline responses of fight or flight when threatened, rejected, or rejected, unaware that their intense reactions are caused by implicit traumatic memories lodged in the body. Therapy becomes into a crisis center with the only purpose of ensuring the client’s safety, rather than providing a space for healing the effects of childhood trauma.
Some encouraging solutions to these perplexing and distressing problems are provided by recent advancements in brain research and the development of innovative therapeutic methods. Ironically, once the threat has passed, the survival reactions that keep sanity intact do not go. Instead, they keep the symptoms going for years after the events have passed, getting in the way of daily life, interpersonal interactions, and therapy.
In this session, traumatized people with a variety of disorders who struggle with addiction, self-destructive behavior, and suicide ideation will be examined through the perspective of neurobiology. We will discuss the consequences of a therapeutic approach guided by neuroscientific research and highlight the most recent developments in efficient therapies. Stuck, self-destructive, and therapy-destructive presentations become more intelligible and controllable when the trauma symptoms are “decoded” in this way.

More information about Medical:
Medicine is the science and practice of establishing the diagnosis, prognosis, treatment, and prevention of disease.
Medicine encompasses a variety of health care practices evolved to maintain and restore health by the prevention and treatment of illness.
Contemporary medicine applies biomedical sciences, biomedical research, genetics, and medical technology to diagnose, treat, and prevent injury and disease,
typically through pharmaceuticals or surgery, but also through therapies as diverse as psychotherapy, external splints and traction, medical devices, biologics, and ionizing radiation, amongst others.
Medicine has been around for thousands of years, during most of which it was an art (an area of skill and knowledge) frequently having connections to the religious and
philosophical beliefs of local culture. For example, a medicine man would apply herbs and say prayers for healing, or an ancient philosopher and physician would apply bloodletting according to the theories of humorism.
In recent centuries, since the advent of modern science, most medicine has become a combination of art and science (both basic and applied, under the umbrella of medical science).
While stitching technique for sutures is an art learned through practice, the knowledge of what happens at the cellular and molecular level in the tissues being stitched arises through science.
