Traversing the Fault Lines: A Relational Approach to the Treatment of Trauma – SERIES ONE

Jo Stuthridge
Traversing the Fault Lines: A Relational Approach to the Treatment of Trauma

In this powerful recorded seminar, Jo explores a relational approach to working with trauma, based on her paper “Traversing the Fault Lines: Trauma and Enactment.”

Trauma often involves experiences too overwhelming for the mind to fully assimilate. When emotional pain becomes unbearable, the psyche can shatter to maintain a fragile sense of sanity. Jo uses the image of a fault line as a guiding metaphor in her trauma work — symbolising the fractures created by dissociation, somatic symptoms, enactment, and the intense transference and countertransference dynamics that often arise in the therapy room.

Drawing on over three decades of experience working with sexual abuse and other forms of trauma, Jo shares insights into how internalised victims and persecutors can shape complex relational dynamics within the therapeutic dyad — making this work both deeply challenging and transformative.

This recording is ideal for psychotherapists seeking to deepen their understanding of relational trauma work and enrich their clinical practice.
