Systemic shame & trauma healing — from isolation to connection: Merete Holm Brantbjerg

Merete Holm Brantbjerg talks with Serge Prengel about trauma, systemic shame, and the body’s hidden survival responses. Starting from Merete’s own experience of female-to-female sexual perpetration at age 14, the discussion explores how trauma becomes intensified through isolation, lack of acknowledgement, and systemic shame. It also points to how it shaped Merete’s approach to healing trauma in a systemic way. Merete is a co-founder of Bodynamic Analysis. In 2003, she developed Relational Trauma Therapy (RTT) together with Kolbjørn Vårdal. For experiential therapy skills, see https://proactivemindfulness.com/focu....
