Buzz Ware Community Center 2119 The Highway, Arden DE 19810
Presented by Shay Seaborne CPTSD and Imogen Ragone
In this interactive 90-minute in-person workshop we will explore the neurobiological aspects of connection and community. Learn how our nervous systems respond when we interact with others, and how we can apply the principles of Interpersonal Neurobiology (IPNB) to create more meaningful and fulfilling relationships. Understanding the science of connection can help us build healthier and more supportive communities for ourselves and others.
Interpersonal Neurobiology, also called Relational Neuroscience, is the science of what happens inside our bodies and between us because of our interactions. Community shapes who we are, and who we are shapes our community.
FREE attendance is open to the public. Please bring a $3-$5 donation for the Buzz Ware Village Center. We look forward to seeing you there!
Shay Seaborne CPTSD teaches Relational Neuroscience for stress reduction, trauma recovery, and community building. Shay has studied the neurobiology of fear / trauma /PTSD since 2014 and Interpersonal Neurobiology (IPNB) since 2019. They write, speak, teach, and make art to convey their experiences as well as their understanding of the neurobiology of fear, trauma theory, Interpersonal Neurobiology concepts, and principles of trauma recovery. A native of Northern Virginia, Shay settled in Delaware to sail KALMAR NYCKEL, the state’s tall ship. But once they finally had mental health insurance, their life rapidly changed. The standard treatment for PTSD nearly killed them. The psychiatric abuse began a cascade of negative medical encounters that repeatedly caused additional harm and the development of severe Medical PTSD.
Shay wishes everyone could recognize that "mental health problems" are symptoms of dysregulation, our mainstream culture is neuro-negative, and we can heal ourselves and each other through awareness, understanding, and safe connection.
