What happens when trauma cannot be contained within an individual life?
This conference explores the ways in which traumatic experience can be carried across generations, embedded in relationships and bodies, and shaped by histories of violence, oppression and social exclusion. Bringing together psychoanalytic, relational and liberation psychology perspectives, our three presenters consider what may remain unspoken, unremembered or dissociated, yet continue to influence how individuals and communities live in the present.
READ MORE...Michael O’Loughlin explores the ‘unthought known’ and the impact of ancestral histories and silences on the formation of the self. Clara Mucci examines the embodied and relational transmission of trauma, from early misattunement and abuse to war and genocide, introducing the psychotherapeutic practice of ‘embodied witnessing’ as a way of working across generations. Taiwo Afuape challenges approaches that locate suffering solely within the individual, reconnecting trauma with histories and structures of oppression, and exploring the powerful potential of collective processes, social action and creativity.
