Healing Repetition, Compulsion, and Trauma
Aumm Institute Centrum de Bron Wolvega Netherlands

The influence of relational trauma on relationships and sexuality. We will look at the effects of trauma and (micro-) traumas on adult relationships and the experience of sexuality therein.
Within mature relationships, early trauma can be healed. But the opposite can also happen, namely that traumas can be activated or exacerbated. Relational trauma and its mechanics are extremely complex. We need understanding, knowledge and awareness about the impact of such trauma on our relationships, about power issues that arise from it and about its influence on sexuality.
This group is open to anyone with some personal growth experience
There is a life ahead of you if you have worked through and learned to deal with traumatic and/or overwhelming periods that have affected you deeply in your life. That's what Vasumati's training is all about.
Trauma can make us feel anxious about life and less alive because we fear getting hurt again. We may fear having a healthy relationship or allowing sexuality and intimacy into our lives.
This module is about understanding and healing trauma-based bonds, about dissociation in relationships, about sexuality after a traumatic experience, about taking your healing into your own hands, about restoring the quality of your life. Healed trauma opens the door to meditation and spirituality. We also look at that important aspect of healing trauma.
In the training we will cover the following topics:
1. Recognize and heal trauma-based bonding.
Trauma-based bonding occurs in highly toxic relationships and is usually reinforced by inconsistent positive reinforcement, or at least the hope of something better. These Trauma Connections occur in extreme situations, such as cross-border relationships, hostage situations and incestuous relationships, but also in a relationship in which there is attachment but a lot of pain alternates with times of rest (or maybe just less pain). you can compare it to a heroin addiction - it promises a lot, gives fleeting feelings of utopia, and then it sucks your soul away.
Trauma connections are very strong and many people live in relationships where they are traumatized over and over again. These connections are compelling, hard to break free from, and many relationships end in some form of this powerful negative dynamic. It is difficult to get out of these connections. We need a lot of support and understanding. And we must learn to feel and experience pain.
Often, relearning to be alone and finding positive resources means developing skills for recognizing and avoiding being pulled into these types of situations again.
In this training you will learn to understand psychologically how trauma connections and attachment work and you will develop professional skills to help clients free themselves from all unhealthy relationships in which our traumas are reinforced.
2.Dissociation in relationships.
Dissociation is the brain's way of detaching you from your thoughts and feelings in order to avoid pain or traumatic memories. Everyone has this to a greater or lesser extent. It is a kind of flight into an altered state of mind often characterized by obsessive thoughts, fantasies, or even a state of no-thinking. It can be used consciously or unconsciously as a defense mechanism and can range in intensity from disappearing with your energy to being anxious or getting angry.
In the basic trauma healing training we learn how to deal with disassociation, how to recognize it and how to work with it. In the training "life after trauma" we learn to make this aware of couples who touch each other in their old wounds. You also learn how to help clients deal with their dissociation in a creative way, so that people learn to allow closeness again and not create more division and separation. What helps with this are simple grounding exercises, working with boundaries, and using communication, which allows us to feel our feelings and still remain present in our body.
3.Sexuality after traumatic experiences
If we have had a traumatic experience that affects our relationships or even a sexual trauma, it can be very difficult to re-engage in lively sexual relationships. When we have had a traumatic experience, we may tend to protect ourselves by controlling, putting up a wall, or being commanding or demanding. It is frightening to feel pleasure in our bodies or experience surrender and allow full expression of ourselves.
So we must learn to help clients feel safe in sex and intimacy. And so to feel life energy in letting go and feel safe in our physical natural expression.
We will work with kundalini yoga and other practices, such as dancing, breathing and practices where you experience safety and protection, while at the same time exploring the possibility of connection.
We learn how to bring sex and heart together and you also learn to involve your partner by sharing with him or her the space you want and need to create intimacy. We discover the dynamics of sexual healing and how to approach the subject of sex without pressure and stress. There will be understanding, acceptance and respect and a return to healthy boundaries.
It takes a lot of courage to open up and be vulnerable. It is a joint process of two people in a relationship.
4.Restore and renew...the complete cure...
Take control of your healing and restore the quality of your life.
Traumatic experiences can make us less alive and afraid to live, in order to avoid suffering pain again.
In this section, we learn to stop being a victim and feel empowered instead. We have the potential of a creative and expressive life. We investigate how we can regain our confidence in ourselves as a person, as a man, as a woman and how we can (re)appropriate our creative skills, our dreams and ideas.
5.Trauma and spirituality
Trauma and spirituality are deeply interrelated, says psychologist Peter Levine. And by properly processing trauma, it can become an entrance for transformation.
Levine's work focuses on helping people heal from the trauma in their lives. Part of his method is to teach them to surrender in a safe way and at the right time.
As we heal trauma, it opens a door to meditation, because being present is such a necessary part of healing. Aspects of essence work (the pearl) are discussed here.
