A lecture for students by an International EMDR Trainer
International EMDR Trainer André Maurício Monteiro Lectures on Transgenerational Trauma at IAPN

On 24 September, as part of the program Biological and Psychotherapeutic Approaches to Trauma Work, André Maurício Monteiro, PhD in Psychology and international EMDR trainer, gave an online lecture on “Transgenerational Trauma”.

The session focused on how traumatic experience can affect subsequent generations and what specialists need to take into account when working with the consequences of trauma.

During the lecture, participants explored several key areas:

— Contextualizing traumatic experience and its impact on the individual
— Survival mechanisms and biological transmission
— Typical symptoms of transgenerational trauma
— Specifics of history-taking when working with traumatic experience
— Resource building and preparation for trauma processing
— Family sayings and family legacy as part of exploring transgenerational processes

The lecture was held online with a choice of language: participants could listen to it in English or use simultaneous interpretation.

For students of the Biological and Psychotherapeutic Approaches to Trauma Work program, the session offered an opportunity to broaden their professional understanding of working with traumatic experience that can be passed down through generations.
