In this workshop, we'll explore the different regions of the brain and how they are affected by traumatic events. We'll look at brain scans to see how the brain is affected on the neurological level when traumatic events, including neglect, occur. We'll identify the various ways that humans compensate and cope; exploring the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system, dissociation, defense mechanisms, for example. Then we'll look at how to heal, not only the brain, but the whole being.
