Resources for Supporting Trauma in Systemic Work

This theoretical-practical workshop provides a proposal of resources and tools to be used in the presence of trauma or complex trauma within the systemic constellations’ framework. The activity is intended for both constellations facilitators and the public participating in the event.

Dynamic dialogue exercises on this topic will be included, first in pairs and then in progressively larger segmented groups, with the aim of obtaining resources and notions that will later be represented and elaborated phenomenologically in broader groups.

The activity will conclude with a proposal of key resources in two dimensions: ethics and technique. Regarding the former, support will be addressed with a focus on consultants, body self-awareness, and somatic self-regulation. In relation to the technique, the use of systemic resources will be reviewed, such as the inclusion of protective or prototypical figures in family lines, or the use of symbolic or archetypal resources in the presence of complex trauma or high fragility.

Given the number of people in the workshop, the methodology includes a strategy that involves imagery and self-observation, with subsequent dialogues and integrated analysis within the groups, to avoid content dispersion and promote active participation of all attendees. Finally, the group will be encouraged to connect with a sense of collectivity and community around the topics discussed, thanks to the phenomenological representation, which will be guided by the facilitator.
