NOTE: Due to Covid 19 this workshop was cancelled

In this workshop Vikki Reynolds offers an alternative approach to working with trauma. By honouring the wisdom of ‘victims of violence, torture and oppression’ and by focusing on their acts of resistance and responses to trauma, Vikki highlights the importance of creating identities of knowledge, autonomy and strength, as opposed to victim/survivor identities. Vikki will address ‘structuring safety’ as the foundation of her work, she will bring forth alternative understandings of the way trauma works, and she will emphasize the importance of taking a de-colonizing and justice-doing stance in which the caregiver/therapist resists the ‘neutral’ and medicalised language on trauma, and names the contexts of social injustice that create the conditions for suffering.
