Working systemically to reduce conflict and restore relationships with families who have experienced trauma

Are you working with families who have experienced trauma?

Are you looking for strategies for working with these families to resolve relational conflict?

As you know, existing interventions that address parenting & relational difficulties for traumatised people have not proven to be very effective.

But Vivienne's recent research has proven that music therapy is effective for people with interpersonal trauma.

In this tutorial Vivienne covers:

  • What are the effects of interpersonal trauma on parenting and relationships?
  • What are the therapeutic frameworks currently being used to help traumatised people?
  • How can music therapy help? What makes music therapy so effective?

Tuning relationships with music is an evidence-based model of working with families to assess parent-child conflict and work with improvisational models to improve non-verbal and verbal communication between traumatised parents and their children.

In this in-depth look at current research in interpersonal trauma Vivienne takes you through the effects of trauma on attachment and relationships, discussing theoretical frameworks and current methods used in trauma recovery.

Exploring the use of music to effectively resolve conflict affecting parents with interpersonal trauma Vivienne presents her 'Tuning relationships with music' recovery model and shows you how you can use this method with your clients.

As an experienced family therapist, counsellor and music therapist, Vivienne provides you with an evidence-based and effective model of working with families who have experienced trauma.
