Next week's episode is an interview with Kathy Steele, an expert on this subject, who explains the concept of Structural Dissociation. To help demystify this topic and lay some groundwork for understanding the interview with Kathy, Laura gives some basic definitions and describes how they might show up in therapists' offices as well as in each of our personal lives.  Laura will be re-releasing some past episodes on the topic of trauma and new episodes will resume in early September, 2019.

Dr. E welcomes back Susan Pease Banitt, LCSW, to share about her recent presentation at the ISSTD conference. This is a very triggering episode, in which she presents about ritual abuse and attachment. No abuse details are discussed or disclosed in this episode, but several triggering topics are explained: ritual abuse, organizational abuse, mind control, and trafficking / sex slavery. She gives a history of mind control in the United States, mentioning specific government programs and protects, and explains a bit about programming and conditioning. She explains traumagenic DID and engineered DID. She connects these survivor experiences to attachment in regards to rupture and repair.

Dr. E shares about the sessions she attended on day two of the Healing Together conference. She expresses frustration with the McClean Hospital outreach team not collaborating with survivors already involved in advocacy and outreach, as that borders on appropriation. She also shares information from two sessions with Susan Pease Banitt. These provided new insight regarding past experiences with bad therapists, as well as good therapists who ruptured the therapeutic alliance. Confident their current therapist is “strong enough” for Emma and her system, and skilled at repairing those ruptures from previous therapists and other trauma, Dr. E struggles to remain present as Emma’s System realizes it’s time to get back to work in therapy. There is a reference to ritual abuse as mentioned in the session, but not in detail. Besides difficult experiences with previous therapists, no other memories or trauma specific issues are discussed in this episode.

Dr. E interviews special guest Susan Pease Banitt, LCSW, author of “The Trauma Toolkit” (for survivors) and “Wisdom, Attachment, and Love in Trauma Therapy” (for clinicians). In a poignant moment before the interview even begins, Dr. E is startled by the compassion offered by her guest, and the interview that followed may be one of her favorites ever done. Susan Pease Banitt shares the history of healers, explains about holistic healing, and teaches about acknowledging our own vulnerability. Due to the nature and content of the interview, some triggering topics are referenced, such as types of abuse including ritual abuse. However, no detailed stories or examples are given in this episode.

"The Trauma Toolkit" by Susan Pease Banitt

Welcome back to Therapy Chat! This week I'm away at the Master Series: Oxford trauma conference in England, and I'm sharing an episode which was originally recorded 5 years ago. This week we welcome Susan Pease Banitt, a now-retired trauma therapist who spoke with me about her second book, Wisdom, Attachment & Love in Trauma Therapy: Beyond Evidence Based Practice. Susan was the first person to educate me and provide a critical perspective on what "evidence based practice" really is, and who decides what is considered adequate "evidence," through the lens of social justice and an expanded view of history. I'll give you a hint - it's the patriarchy that says what the "gold standard" is, and Susan challenges these ideas in our discussion and in her books! Her first book, The Trauma Toolkit, is one I recommend regularly to clients. I consider it a manual for how to live with the symptoms of complex trauma, CPTSD, and dissociation, including dissociative "disorders." It has helped many of my clients cope with overwhelming thoughts, emotions and body sensations when they arise in between therapy sessions. I'm grateful for the powerful work she has done and the important contribution she has made to the field of trauma. Although her website states she's retired from seeing clients now, I hope to continue to learn from her in future offerings!Keep up with Susan's work and purchase her books via her website, found at: https://suepeasebanitt.com/book/ The Institute for Creative Mindfulness is the brainchild of Dr. Jamie+ Marich, an EMDR Certified Consultant & Trainer.
