Survivorship Webinar “From Fragmentation to Integration” 
Sat. June 16
3 pm Pacific Time
Presenter: Dr. Cathy Kezelman
“From Fragmentation to Integration”
http://www.survivorship.org/webinars.html

Child Abuse and Ritual Abuse Conference – August 2012
http://ritualabuse.us/smart-conference/

Saturday, June 16
3 pm Pacific Time – Please note the time change
Presenter: Dr. Cathy Kezelman
“From Fragmentation to Integration”

This webinar will depict my personal psychotherapeutic journey to explore the process of recovery from an extreme dissociative state, which was characterised by a complete amnesia for 10 years of my childhood and fragmentation of my self onto integration and recovery. Despite my therapist providing a safe reliable and contained space it took me a long time to trust her or appreciate that she could keep me in mind. She was empathic, compassionate and skilled and the relationship we developed was core to my survival and my recovery. Over years she bore witness to the dissociated fragments of trauma returning to my consciousness and the intense emotions which were overwhelming me. Through a committed analytical psychotherapeutic process she guided me from terror and confusion through chaos and onto acceptance and understanding.

It will explore the changes in me from having little insight into myself, my inner world, relationships or functioning as a whole being. I now know my own unique feelings and choices, and have the capacity to reflect, form deeper relationships and live a full rich life.

Dr. Cathy Kezelman is President at ASCA (Adults Surviving Child Abuse), an Australian national charity which advocates for a trauma informed approach to care and trauma specific services for survivors of complex trauma secondary to child abuse and neglect. She is a director of MHCC (Mental Health Co-ordinating Council NSW). She is an active advocate for Australian adult survivors of childhood trauma and informed mental health responses to trauma. Early in 2010 she published her memoir, ‘Innocence Revisited’ – a tale in parts, her story of recovery from childhood trauma. Cathy is also a mother of four adult children and a foster child.
