This workshop is designed to help clinicians with developing coherent narratives and reconstructing memories of likely experiences in childhood for clients who lack memory of childhood due to chronic trauma and chronic sub-traumatic experiences. The purpose is to assist clients in making sense of their experiences as adults that resonate from these childhood experiences in order to reduce inappropriate guilt and self-blame for distress and difficulties in their personal and interpersonal relationships and mental health symptoms, and to begin healing from these experiences.

By the end of this continuing education activity, participants will be able to:
1. Describe how chronic childhood trauma can cause limited memory of childhood.
2. Describe the role of attachment in the interruption of memory integration and formation.
3. Implement at least three brief intervention skills that assist with the construction of childhood narratives through the identification of probable themes and patterns of experience, and likely interpersonal experiences, where there is a lack of memory, including: a) the use of core memories; b) the use of projective identification; c) the elicitation of interactions between the client’s adult and child states and brief skills to move through barriers to this interaction; and d) the use of somatic access to emotion states and loose association to trace to childhood experiences.
Psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, licensed psychoanalysts, nurse practitioners and family and marriage/couple therapists and mental health counselors.
