Maternal Negativity & the Archetypal Death Mother: Exploring evolutionary & psychodynamic approaches
มุมมอง 4.7K3 ปีที่แล้ว
In this conversation I discuss various factors which can contribute to a mother feeling negatively about her child. I do this by describing some of the challenges that ancestral mothers faced throughout human evolution, and by exploring ideas about the archetypal Death Mother, inspired by the late Jungian analyst, Marion Woodman I found it a rich and rewarding conversation and am grateful to Jo...
Defining Emotional Trauma & Introducing Trauma Worlds
มุมมอง 3834 ปีที่แล้ว
'Trauma' is better defined not by the painful and frightening events that happen to us, but by their impact. If painful and frightening events are tended to at the time, they will heal and we will not be left with trauma. If, however, they are not attended to at the time, then we are likely to head down the path of trauma and find ourselves in a world that is built around fear, dissociation and...

'Understanding and healing emotional trauma' by Daniela F. Sieff, PhD
มุมมอง 8K8 ปีที่แล้ว
We are becoming increasingly aware of how widespread trauma is, and of the huge costs it imposes not only on individuals and their immediate communities, but also on society more generally. But what exactly is trauma? How does it affect our daily lives? And how do we heal it? In this talk, Daniela Sieff, author of 'Understanding and Healing Emotional Trauma: Conversations with Pioneering Clinic...

    I find it extraordinary how under viewed your important work is, especially considering trauma healing is all the rage now. You're one of the best. I only found you by doing my own search in the interest of healing my mother wound, knowing of the "death mother" archetype from reading Robert Bly's work decades ago. I wish I'd addressed the mother wound long ago, but one's mother is held in such regard I didn't realize until middle age what a gnawing cancer it has been, that's deeply affected my relationships with women in adulthood.

    qualities of islandness among the Tao and other islander are similar. 1. Independence: small boats and social circles demand it if a personality is to sur- vive. 2. Loyalty: ultimate mutual care and generosity even between ostensible enemies. 100 3. A strong sense of honor easily betrayed. 4. Polydextrous and multifaceted competence or what islanders call “handiness.” 5. A belligerent sense of competition interlaced with vigilant cooperation. 6. Traditional frugality with bursts of spectacular exception. 7. Earthy common sense. 8. Opinionated machismo in both the male and female mode. 9. Live-and-let-live tolerance of eccentricity. 10. Fragile discretion within a welter of gossip. 11. Highly individualized blend of spirituality and superstition. 12. A complex oral tradition, with long memories fueled by a mix of responsible record keeping and nostalgia. 13. A canny literacy and intelligence. (Putz 1984, 26) Putz (ibid.) uses “aquarium” as the metaphor of inhabited islands associated with ecological systems and natural resources. Putz a However, I'm not too surprised that such an effect exists: it is very much part of adult social dynamics, and is clearly a major part of children's social dynamics (in that children use it a lot amongst themselves). Why it should be so widespread is an interesting question, though some of it may relate to the importance of laughter in social bonding and how we create laughter events [in this case, by creating a scapegoat].

    My mother had blissful childhood and beautiful looks… her scapegoating abuse death 💀 mother behaviour came from entitlement and extremely spoilt by everyone around her… she had no needs… her choice was to abuse one scapegoat child as it was fun for her and perhaps at times created a mild kind of sexual cohesion between mum and dad … dad adored narcissistic mom and provided her well and still does… these upper class areas are filled with huge island community and bill village supports and sometimes like the human just wants to. Abuse one daughter for fun and giggles 🤭

    In south Australia we have had 3 mothers kill daughters and it’s death mother behaviour… or family scapegoating behaviour patterns… police have launched a huge investigation… Charges have been laid over the deaths of three South Australian children - aged between six and 15 - after an "unprecedented" investigation into alleged child neglect. Three parents were charged today with manslaughter relating to the deaths of three different children after a task force was established in July last year to investigate the death of Charlie Nowland. The six-year-old was found unresponsive in a home in Munno Para and later died in hospita

    Is very good thank you. I think trauma does have an end. If it had a beginning then it will have an end. And it may not take a lifetime to end. We have adverse experiences but in one day and perhaps one event triggers and imprints the original trauma. If true then trauma can be reversed in more or less the same amount of time. This is my best guess.

    • @DanielaSieffPhD
      @DanielaSieffPhD 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thank you for your thoughts. I'm glad you found it interesting. In my experience some trauma has an end but a lot doesn't. The 'end' is about how we adapt to our wounds and find ways to support them. Physical analogies help me. Many years ago my Achilles tendon snapped. It was sewn back together and I was in a cast for ages and then had to learn to walk again. It was year before I could run. But, because my sewn together tendon was now shorter than the one on the other side, my running is uneven and in the long term that has caused problems. My snapped Achilles, even though it was repaired almost immediately (which does not happen with emotional trauma) will never return to how it was before the damage. And, in my experience, some aspects of emotional wounding are similar. So, for me, healing is in part about self-acceptance, relating to our damaged selves with compassion and building up the scaffold that will help us hold the damage.

    • @3877michael

      @@DanielaSieffPhD Well said and self-compassion is key. Trauma is hard wired into our body but is not our body. Just like how to walk is in our body but is not our body. Walking, sitting, eating with a spoon are habits of moving the body automatically with no conscious thought needed. And so is trauma. LOL Well this is what I came up with. ACEs Immunity Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) The way children get wounded or imprinted is very simple. What was done to you as a child you then internalize and do that to yourself for the rest of your life. Mom feeds you with a spoon. At some point, you take the spoon and from then on feed yourself for life. Same with clothes and same with whatever is going on in your house. These imprints form your actions and reactions of how you walk, talk, sit and move so are very much felt as “you” in your body. This is your subconscious mind and habits and are very strong. Is very much software programming and imprinting. My ACEs Immunity reverse this process with 4 exercises designed to use the body imagination and emotions in a way that re-educated the body and mind, emotions and psyche ( words ) or Psycho Neurolinguistic Re-Edu Kinesiology. This is also simple and easy to do. I can teach in a workshop format all 4 exercises in around 4 hours to adults or children. The best would be to teach this to adults who work with children as this 4 hour workshop could be done once a month or so for a school year. Repetition is very powerful and needed. Know this that the average amount to times a child is told “ NO “ in America is 56,000 times. This is a lot of denial messages and also gets imprinted into the body and nerves of the child.

    Daniela--Really well thought out and beautifully presented talk. The examples you offer illuminate the full meaning of what you speak about. As a Jungian Analyst, your work has helped me in my clinical work. I find your formulation of the concept of the "trauma world" useful because it offers a containing name to the "place" into which we fall when triggered by a trauma. Thank you for your work and your wonderful book.

    Thank you for a profound, informative and embodied lecture. There were various verbal and non verbal layers in which I experienced the new information that was transmitted in this lecture. The intellectual explanation framed and contained the topic verbally, at the same time that the images encapsulated, with the utmost simplicity, the poignancy of how deeply human beings can experience trauma. Congratulations on handling such a difficult theme with so much presence, knowledge and lightness of touch.

      Dear Punita, thank you so much for your comments. I am really moved that you were touched at both verbal and non-verbal levels and I love how you experienced the 'intellectual frame' containing the 'poignancy' of our deeply lived experienced. In a way that has been my journey - to move between those two. So its very moving to have that articulated by another person.

      I have done a lot of authentic movement myself with Tina Stromsted and the BodySoul Rhythms workshops which were created by Marion Woodman and Mary Hamilton (a dancer) and Ann Skinner (a voice coach). So I've danced elements of this myself - and its been very powerful in getting to know these dynamics in an embodied way. But not in terms of working with others.
