The Use of Advanced Integrative Therapy with C-PTSD and Intergenerational Trauma Transmission: A Case Study

Abstract

Complex posttraumatic stress disorder (C-PTSD) and adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) pose health problems in the United States, and intergenerational relational trauma plays a role in the continuation and transmission of these issues. Advanced Integrative Therapy (AIT), a novel treatment, was used to treat a case of C-PTSD. The client’s chief concern was a flare-up of anxiety, relational distress, and fibromyalgia that occurred when they (chosen pronoun) accepted custody of their nephew. Over a span of nine 90-minute sessions, the clinician assessed progress using the PTSD Checklist for DSM-5 (PCL-5; Weathers et al., 2013) to measure PTSD symptoms; the International Trauma Questionnaire (ITQ; Cloitre et al., 2018), which measures C-PTSD symptoms according to the criteria of the World Health Organization (WHO) International Classification of Diseases, 11th revision (ICD-11); the Child-Parent Relationship Scale (CPRS; Pianta, 1992), which measures connection and conflict in the caregiver-child relationship; and the Subjective Units of Distress (SUD) scale (Wolpe, 1969), which rates the client’s current level of distress or discomfort. The clinician also used the self-report questionnaire Helpful Aspects of Therapy (HAT; Llewelyn et al., 1988) and the Change Interview (CI) method (Elliott et al., 2001) to measure client experience and perspective. After treatment with AIT, the client no longer met criteria for C-PTSD and showed dramatic improvement in intergenerational relationship satisfaction. In addition, there was a rapid reduction of hard to eradicate C-PTSD symptoms as well as reduction in the quantity and intensity of fibromyalgia induced pain. Use of AIT with caregivers could interrupt the transmission of intergenerational trauma thereby reducing or preventing ACEs by increasing emotional regulation and resilience.

"Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate." - Carl Jung

Before I learned about Shadow Work, my goal was to release my client’s shame and quiet their inner critic. By the end of a tapping session, their levels of shame and insecurity would dissolve to 0-3. We would celebrate the success… until a week later they would walk into my office and say:
- Last session was great, but I feel back at square one.
- I was doing well for a few days, but then I caved (insert bad habit here).
- I felt great, but then that limiting belief came slamming back in as strong.

 

When a client is trying to “get rid” of an issue, they are embodying what I call a “beat it into submission” approach to healing.

 

As a practitioner, I embodied the same attitude as my clients: “Once we stop experiencing this issue, then we can feel good about our progress… then we can relax and feel good enough.”

 

THE TRUTH IS:
The “issue” we are desperately trying to solve (by tapping) will never go away if we feel desperate to get rid of it.
The only way to truly release the “issue” is to no longer see it as an issue at all.

 

Your anxiety, anger, weight, people pleasing, pain, perfectionist, all serve a purpose.

 

Whether people-pleasing helped you survive a narcissistic parent or weight-gain helped you feel safe around unsafe people…

 

ALL “ISSUES” SERVE(D) A PURPOSE.

 

When you shine a light on the purpose, or protective function, of an “issue,” your “weaknesses” becomes strengths.

 

Clients suddenly feel a rush of compassion where they once beat themselves up. They no longer feel desperate to fix themselves: They finally ACCEPT themselves, flaws and all.

 

This is where the magic happens.

 

I designed this Training as a full day deep dive into Shadow Work & Empty Chair Work.

 

Carl Jung said that the only way to embody your highest self is to embody the gifts of your shadow self. He continued: "Knowing your own darkness is the best method for dealing with the darknesses of other people."

 

Self-compassion becomes self-mastery, which becomes compassion for the world.

 

By blending EFT with Advanced Energy Psychologies, you will honor, integrate and ally with the parts of self that hold you and your clients back.

 

YOU WILL:
- Walk away with steps to extract the gifts of your shadow.
- Practice Unfinished Conversations with your Shadow, Inner Child and repressed parts of self in a way that breaks down their walls and invites compassion.
- Identify the main archetypes that lead to false selves and conditioning
- Watch “real-life” demos of shadow integration
- Practice Advanced Energy Psychology techniques with other heart-centered students

 

BONUSES:

 

Along with the full-day immersive you will receive:
- Printable Charts on the main types of Shadows, Archetypes & Gifts
- Exercise Cheat Sheets for Empty Chair Work and Unfinished Conversations with your Shadow
- Proactive Healing Roadmap: A Printable Wheel of Life Roadmap for Your Client’s Next Season of Healing

What's blocking you from experiencing the financial flow you desire? Bring those obstacles to this experiential workshop, and tap them away. This experiential workshop skips the theory and science behind EFT. Instead, you get an intensive tapping experience. We'll work with individual participants and use the Borrowing Benefits technique to release everyone's issues simultaneously. We'll look at your childhood experiences around money, and core beliefs that might be getting in your way. We'll see how these show up in your present experience, and use this as a gateway to patterns from your past. Note that this workshop is two consecutive afternoons.

5pm - 7pm Pacific on two consecutive days, May 9 and 10, 2023

Mystics, monks, and inspiring luminaries like Rumi, St. Teresa, Gurdjieff, Meister Eckart, Hildegard of Bingen, Khalil Gibran and Thomas Merton have described extraordinary spiritual states.

Spiritual Intelligence or SQ is the ability to enter these states of oneness with "the all that is." SQ connects us with the universal consciousness beyond our limited human minds. It is associated with extraordinary compassion, happiness, gratitude and love.

New research is showing that the ability to reach these states is hard wired into everyone's brain. We all have SQ, but few of us learn to use it.

This workshop explains what SQ is, how to develop it, the function of the four specific brain circuits active in mystics of all traditions.
