• Yet, the majority of people who experience trauma experience a more subtle and chronic form that exists within their own family.

• Beginning with a genogram, Claudia Black, Ph.D., will give a portrait of addiction in the family, offering an overlay of how adverse child experiences, emotional abandonment and blatant violence are all aspects of the trauma.

• She will discuss shame screens, the ways people attempt to gain power over or succumb to their emotional pain, incorporating how trauma is connected to multi-addictive and co-occurring disorders.

• Educational Objectives: Identify how the trauma responses to flight, fight and freeze become acted out in the family impacted by addiction.
