BESSEL A. VAN DER KOLK’S 29TH ANNUAL TRAUMA CONFERENCE: MAIN CONFERENCE DAY 1 – BESSEL VAN DER KOLK , ELIZABETH WARNER , RUTH LANIUS , STEPHEN PORGES , RICHARD C. SCHWARTZ , MATTHEW SANFORD , SHERAIN HARRICHARAN & JUDSON BREWER

The study of trauma has probably been the single most fertile area in helping to develop a deeper understanding of the relationship among the emotional, cognitive, social and biological forces that shape human development. Starting with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in adults and expanding into early attachment and overwhelming attachment and social experiences in childhood (“Developmental Trauma”), this endeavor has elucidated how certain experiences can “set” psychological expectations and biological selectivity.

When addressing the problems of traumatized people who, in a myriad of ways, continue to react to current experience as a replay of the past, there is a need for therapeutic methods that do not depend exclusively on drugs or cognition. We have learned that most experience is automatically processed on a subcortical level of the brain; i.e., by “unconscious” interpretations that take place outside of conscious awareness. Insight and understanding have only a limited influence on the operation of these subcortical processes, but synchrony, movement and reparative experiences do.
