May 14: Psychological Trauma, Implicit Memory, and the Verbal Logical Explainer (VLE)
May 14: Psychological Trauma, Implicit Memory, and the Verbal Logical Explainer (VLE): An overview of the work of Karl Lehman, MD
Presented by: Doug Kellenberger, LMHC
Attuning Hearts Counseling & Coaching
Join us for this fascinating overview of brain science and compelling scientific evidence for the model of trauma and healing which Dr. Lehman teaches. Doug will share some of Dr. Lehman’s simple yet effective new tools for recognizing and addressing the challenges connected with these kinds of concerns. We will determine interest, in the future, for Dr. Lehman’s entire series of DVD’s on the topic. The presentation will:
• Give a research-based definition of psychological trauma, and explain how the toxic content from unresolved trauma comes forward as “invisible” implicit memory
• Provide information about the “Verbal Logical Explainer” (VLE) – the part of our brain/mind whose job it is to make sense out of our experiences.
• Show how traumatic implicit memory interacts with the VLE to produce sometimes comical, sometimes costly, misinterpretations of our life experiences. These misinterpretations then have the power to wreak havoc in our closest relationships – spouse, family, community.
• Provide simple yet effective new tools for recognizing and limiting the damage of “invisible” implicit memory and VLE misinterpretations.
