Topic

While there is still much to understand about adult FND and more to explore in ways to treat it, there are ideas and evidence that have emerged that seem helpful. Many approaches engage with presentations triggered or sustained by overwhelming, and/or cumulative stress, loss or trauma and address coping strategies.

This seminar will discuss interweaving and layered research approaches that explore a relational neuroscience and developmental model, incorporating regulation, attachment, trauma, disorganization and psychotherapy, including psychodynamic approaches as relevant experience can lie out of awareness. We will discuss a qualitative systematic review of lived experience, some of the mixed methods research approaches to thinking about layers of interpersonal regulation, and approaches to integrative psychotherapy as well as further research underway and indicated.

We will consider how a relational approach to bodymind, supports a rich collaborative formulation, and the breakdown of "flow" and the emergence of FND symptoms. We will be helped by deidentified case material and Adult Attachment interview material to "voice" the experience of the "something that gets in the way". We will consider roads of recovery, discussing a phase-based approach to safety and stabilization and tailor-making interventions across different levels of the person's organizing systems.

We will discuss the benefits of a relational approach such as SIFT or the Conversational Model, whether short or long term, focal or more diffuse, as a relational container, a coolamon/thaga that shapes the therapeutic alliance and can collaboratively contain other modalities. Some are afraid of this area of practice, but as psychiatrists and psychotherapists, we already have many skills in helping our dyads stay afloat and safely diving deep with our patients as needed. Because this concerns the flow, the dance, and the "singing", there will be song.
