Abstract:
Using “Working with Trauma and the Shame Spectrum of Emotion in Psychotherapy Aided by Hypnosis: Expanding upon the character of Pecola in Toni Morrison’s The Bluest Eye, a case of racial and sexual trauma,” participants will first hear an analysis of the case of Pecola Breedlove, the central character in Toni Morrison’s novel, The Bluest Eye, and then use the case material to support an exploration of shame and humiliation as core trauma affects. An emphasis on hypnotic technique and approaches useful in mitigating shame experience will be interwoven in the exploration of shame and humiliation experience.
Learning Objectives:
1. Describe the difference between the words affect, feeling, and emotion as well as the clinical utility of distinguishing between them in the context of both everyday conversation and hypnotic induction and work.
2. Describe the process by which shame and rage become welded together and the utility of this constellation of affects in regard to exploration in conversation and with hypnosis.
3. Differentiate shame and humiliation and describe the utility of these differences in psychotherapeutic discourse.
