Two-Eyed Seeing: Indigenous Approaches to Healing Trauma<\/h2><\/h1><\/div>

Introduction<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/div>

\u201cTwo-eyed seeing\u201d is a concept that was originated by Elder Albert Marshall of Sydney, Nova Scotia, and Cape Breton University to give indigenous epistemology and knowledge equal status with mainstream scientific perspectives and knowledge. In M\u2019iqmaq, the word is Etuaptmunk. In English, it means the idea of explanatory pluralism. Within most indigenous cultures, the mind is not considered separately from body, community, and spirituality, unlike the silos created in the dominant culture.<\/p>\n

Healing must involve the body, the community, and the spirits. In this lecture, we are going to introduce the two-eyed seeing concept to explore how to work with trauma from both an indigenous perspective and contemporary neuroscience and psychological research. We are especially interested in the role that trauma plays in addictions and in the so-called \u201csevere mental illnesses,\u201d and how our approach to people in distress must also be trauma-informed.<\/p>\n

This introductory lecture is designed for practitioners who provide counselling in indigenous communities. It is also open to those providing counselling in other communities who want to see how indigenous practices could enrich their work, as well as to others who are just curious about Indigenous cultures and mental health.<\/p>\n<\/div>

About the New School for Analytical Psychology<\/h3><\/span>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Our School embraces education as a never-ending dialogical process that does not hold fast to a single theory or ideology. Our approach to knowledge is one that honors the ancient yet emphasizes our embeddedness in a contemporary cultural context. An ethical obligation to the \u2018other\u2019 is a prime concern.<\/p>\n

Our profession faces complex conditions of suffering and evolution, and each journey has a unique destiny that cannot be known in advance. The inherent ambiguity of our field creates anxiety in its practitioners, and there is a tendency to withdraw into defensive bastions of theory and practice. The New School group shares a deep concern about the fundamentalist tendencies in all analytic schools. We value the scholarship and clinical approaches of multiple traditions with their unique perspectives on our ever-fascinating, ever-evolving field of reflective endeavor.<\/p>\n<\/div>
