Building internal attachment bonds: Overcoming Self-Alienation
Fragmentation of their developing sense of Self maintains children’s attachment to abusive caregivers by disowning themselves as “bad” or “unlovable.”
As long as they are bad, their parents must be good. This deeply painful failure of Self-acceptance results in lifelong shame and Self-loathing, difficulty Self-soothing, and chronic dissociative symptoms and disorders. To overcome this alienation from Self, Trauma-Informed Stabilization Treatment or TIST focuses on cultivating clients’ mindful awareness of their fragmented selves and disowned experience. As clients learn to differentiate the feelings of their trauma-related child selves from their own feelings, they can begin to connect emotionally to the parts and then welcome them “home.” When they do, the resulting sense of internal calm and safety transforms the past experiences of abandonment and betrayal. The TIST model capitalizes on the therapeutic power of fostering internal secure attachment to clients’ most deeply disowned selves.
Participants will learn to:
• Understand the relationship between early attachment trauma and fragmentation of the Self;
• Recognize signs of disowned child parts and their internal conflicts;
• Describe interventions that create an increased sense of connection to younger aspects of Self;
• Utilize mentalization techniques to foster attachment bonding between adult clients and their child parts.
The Dancing Parts of the Self: Introduction to Dialogical Self Theory
One of the basic features of Dialogical Self Theory (DST) is the assumption that the Self functions as a society of mind or, more specifically, as a society of I-positions. For a proper understanding of this assumption, it should be emphasized that not only personal positions (e.g., I as a dedicated teacher, I as an ambitious professional, I as a vulnerable person) populate the Self as internal I-positions but also other individuals, groups, or even other ‘things’ play their roles as external I-positions in the Self (e.g., my loving father, my playful sports mates, my protecting house, nature as my nourishing environment). In this way, the dialogical Self functions as a society of actual, remembered, and imagined ‘others’ that may enter and leave the society of mind and become involved in dialogical relationships with one’s internal positions. Together internal and external I-positions form a highly dynamic multiplicity of parts in the society of mind, involved in mutual dialogical relationships. In this lecture, Hubert Hermans will demonstrate how this theory can be applied to the field of mental health. Themes that will be addressed are: individual happiness, eudaimonic happiness, rumination, loneliness, and Self-acceptance. In order to broaden limited definitions of the Western Self-ideal, four identity levels will be discussed: I as an individual, I as a group member, I as a member of all humanity, and I as a participant of the earth. The tensions and mutual dialogical relationships among these identity positions will be explored. During the lecture there will be opportunities for questions and answers.
Participants will learn to:
• Formulate the essence of Dialogical Self Theory;
• Apply this theory on happiness, loneliness, rumination, and Self-acceptance;
• Distinguish four identity levels, associated with different levels of inclusiveness;
• Formulate the limitations of the Western Self-ideal.
Dialogues Between Different Parts of Self
In this workshop, Leslie Greenber will focus on four main dialogues between parts of the Self. The different dialogues are each most helpful for different client emotionally laden problem states of mind. Conflict splits involve one aspect of the Self being critical, coercive to another part of the Self. In this case, the therapist helps the client to enact and make explicit the critical voice in order to evoke the Self ‘s emotional response which is then worked on to access the unmet need and a softening of the critic. Self interruptive splits. Here one part of the Self interrupts the expression of another aspect of Self, often emotion. The intervention, two chair enactment guides the interrupting part of the Self to enact the interruption by metaphorically (caging), or verbally (“shut up, don’t feel, be quiet, you can’t survive this”), or physically enacting (choking or shutting down) closing down the Self’ expression so that clients can experience themselves as an agent in the process of shutting down and then can react to and challenge the interruptive part of the Self and express the previously blocked expression. Unfinished business. This involves a lingering unresolved feeling toward a significant other. This offers an opportunity for an empty-chair dialogue. Here the client imagines the other present in the other chair in order to activate their internal view of a significant other and then to experience and explore their emotional reactions to the other and make sense of them. Shifts in views of both the other and Self occur. Resolution involves understanding or forgiving the other or holding the other accountable for wrongs done. Anguish and emotional suffering involve an intensely painful emotional state that calls for compassion towards the Self. Self Soothing involves one part expressing compassion toward the suffering Self. This process offers a way of changing painful emotions (e.g., shame, fear, sadness) by internally contacting these emotions with a different adaptive emotion. In this task, the therapist first helps the client deepen their sense of anguish so that they can access their core existential pain and express the unmet need associated with it. Then, the therapist offers a two-chair process to the client in which clients enact providing what is needed (e.g., validation, support, protection) to themselves.
Participants will learn:
• How to identify different emotional states that are opportunities for different interventions;
• The steps of two-chair dialogues;
• The process of two-chair enactments;
• The steps of empty chair dialogues;
• The process of Self-soothing dialogues.
