The workshop will describe a strategic approach based on resilience to help patients who suffer from unresolved traumas and are constrained by limiting beliefs and toxic emotions to open their hearts, minds and souls, and so find the courage to imagine a better future and conceive different options that favor change in sensations, feelings, thoughts, attitudes and behavior.The workshop overviews a model of resilience which helps patients transform destiny into choice, obstacles into challenges, chaos and rigidity into harmony, resignation into active hope, pessimism into doubt, and problems into searching for solutions. This model plays an important role in eliciting empowering emotions and transforming limiting beliefs into permissive and exploring attitudes. It is essential for finding the patient's hidden physiological, remedial and evolutive resources and for enriching his/her vulnerability with curiosity, compassion and connection.This workshop will provide clinical examples and practical exercises to demonstrate how to strengthen the therapeutic alliance by awakening the patient's flexibility, creativity, and resilience, how to draw his/her despair and unwillingness to live into the openness and explore new options in a world of infinite possibilities.During the workshop participants will learn a set of therapeutic strategies - physiological, emotional, cognitive and behavioral - for treating unresolved traumas. These will provide therapists with the means to help their patients face the future with the awareness that they are alive and life is full of surprises, so that they discover new paths in a fertile land, and they accept being guided by passion for the possible.
