Join us for an in-depth exploration of the effects of trauma on the psyche from a variety of perspectives and vantage points.  This two-day remote conference will provide ample space to examine how traumatic experiences shape us and how we can work to promote personal and collective growth.  There will be many opportunities for lengthy discussions with experts from the Military, Philosophy and Psychoanalysis.  There are different views about what constitutes a traumatic experience.  How do we conceptualize trauma from a psychoanalytic perspective?  How can we promote post traumatic growth?  How do we understand and work with intergenerational trauma?  Is death necessary for a trauma diagnosis?  How do we perpetuate trauma by failing to recognize internal conflicts about race?  How can combat trauma experienced by vets inform us to help promote healing?  What consequences do the trauma of sexual, Continue reading Trauma and Mind In War and Life: Understanding and Treating Trauma Online with CFS
