About the event
Can psychotherapy afford to ignore politics, history and systemic harm?
Contemporary psychotherapy is increasingly required to hold biology, history and power within the same therapeutic frame. As research into stress physiology and epigenetics develops, clinicians are invited to think more carefully about how prolonged stress shapes the body, how survival patterns form within families, and how social conditions influence psychological distress.
This live one-day ERTA event offers a reflective and clinically grounded space to explore these intersections. Rather than presenting biological determinism, the session considers how emerging biological research can sit alongside relational, developmental and anti-oppressive frameworks in therapeutic work.
Participants will engage with the IERA-Therapy® lens as a structured way of thinking about intergenerational patterns, identity adaptation and systemic context, without presenting epigenetics as proof of inherited trauma or oversimplified narratives of transmission.
