Pandemic Stories: Acknowledging and Healing Collective Trauma

Karen Carnabucci, LCSW, TEP,  will offer Pandemic Stories: Acknowledging and Healing Collective Trauma for the Delaware Valley Psychodrama Collective from 3 to 5 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 25.

Although pandemic deaths have waned in the United States, we can recognize a good number of still-unsettled feelings to our homes and hearts. We are also reminded that people are still at risk with becoming infected by the COVID-19 virus and others are suffering the longer-term impact of lingering physical illness and particularly collective trauma.

This online workshop explores how we as helpers and healers can support health and recovery from this collective trauma mentally, emotionally, physically, spiritually and energetically.

You will learn:
  • The definition of collective trauma.
  • How psychodrama, sociometry, storytelling and simple energetic postures can support and sustain healing and connection during collective trauma.
This online program will offer two CE and psychodrama hours

Tuition is $20 for members of the American Society of Group Psychotherapy and Psychodrama; $30 for non-members; $15 for those who do not want CE hours; $5 for full-time college and university students; and $5 for first-time attendees.

​Ancestor Stories: An Experience In Family Constellations

Picture
Family Constellations is the term for method of working with the family system as developed by Bert Hellinger, a family therapist in Germany.

In this series of monthly online training workshops from 10 a.m. to noon ET, Karen will  offer a self-experience for participants who are interested in the method and how it may be presented in individual or group sessions.

She will discuss how Family Constellations explore through experiential interaction and mindfulness how an unresolved family trauma or other instance of family or collective pain is carried through the generations. 

This program is not designed to give people all the tools and skills they would need to present a Family Constellations session to a client. Rather it will allow you to experience components of the method to understand it  more fully and begin to explore how you can use pieces of the method to integrate into your work if you wish.

You will learn:
  • The Orders of Love and how they impact families according to Bert Hellinger.
  • Representative perception and how it shows up in "the knowing field."
  • How mindfulness and body awareness offer clues to identifying and resolving inter-generational family trauma.​
Karen will select a participant for demonstration, with opportunities for questions and discussion during the class.

The class is scheduled the last Friday of each month.

Tuition is $45 and includes two CE and psychodrama credits, plus Act 48 hours.
