Part of our Food for Thought series

We are delighted to have had Ruth join us to present this live webinar, as part of our Food for Thought series, where we bring you the best in the world, at a time to suit us!

In this thought provoking lecture, Ruth describes how the compulsion to repeat the past through traumatic re-enactments or engaging in reckless behaviours, is one of the few ways that allows traumatised individuals to feel ‘alive’. People can become stuck in patterns that in turn increase feelings of shame and ongoing traumatisation. Ruth will focus on how we can use a brain-guided approach to help traumatised people feel alive and safe, without engaging in traumatic re-enactments, and help break the cycle of shame.
