The Neurobiology Of Fawning And Appeasement

Durango, CO

6-hour in-person training—6 CEUs available pending approval  930-5 (1.5 hour lunch)

While the trauma-response term of flight-flight-freeze has been readily recognized in both professional and layperson circles, the concept of fawning and appeasement are being seen as adaptive trauma responses also. This training will explain how fawning and appeasement are connected to biological drives to stay safe; both biological adaptations come from being in a down-power position that will often inhibits the healing process. The training will describe the neurobiology of both these trauma adaptations and strategies on how to identify and support new options to move a client from victim to survivor. Supporting victims/survivors effectively with a deeper understanding of these adaptations is critical as it empowers and restores agency. This information is cutting-edge and mini-workshops of this topic have been presented at National Trauma Training Conferences for victim service providers.
