In working with relational trauma, we often encounter parts that are connected in some way to an addictive cycle. Many internally damaged systems will look externally for relief, escape, and protection, especially when the internal system has not experienced safety and love early on in life.
This is often the case when parts seek solutions to their problems with potentially addictive substances, such as food, drugs, sex, technology, and gambling, to name a few. When it comes to these parts, Internal Family Systems (IFS) offers a framework that helps clinicians to uncover and follow the client’s internal wisdom about the order of healing. These systems tend to be complex and often have multiple dimensions to them, including facets connected to the past and present. Our goal in IFS is not to just get the part to stop using their substance of choice; rather, there is a larger over-arching purpose of learning about their role, fear, or positive intention and with this awareness, to create space for an alternative solution to the problem they are trying to address.
By the end of this training, attendees will be better able to—
- Describe the relationship between substance use and trauma/neglect/abuse
- Identify the difference between Primary/past wounds and Secondary/current day wounds
- Explain the relationships between Substance/parts, Behaviour/habit, and Biology/taper
- Identify the differences in the roles played by Critics, Caretakers and Thinkers
- Identify and explain at least 2 aspects of critical shame cycles and neglect shame cycles
- Describe the neuroscience of shame
