The Trauma et patate chaude podcast offers in-depth discussions on the mechanisms of trauma, healing and therapeutic approaches. Among its guests, Dr. François Le Doze occupies a special place, with a series of episodes dedicated to his Relational Intelligence® model. Prior to his interview, two preparatory episodes (#7 and #8) lay the groundwork for understanding the depth of what he has to say. These episodes are presented below.
🎙️ Episode 7 - What exactly is trauma?
In this episode, the presenters go back to basics: what is trauma, psychologically and physiologically? They differentiate between forms of trauma (event-related, complex, attachment-related), and stress the idea that trauma is a wound that can be overcome, not a definitive pathology.
🎙️ Episode 8 - Traumatic dissociation: when the nervous system protects itself from too much
This episode delves into a key mechanism: dissociation.
The hosts explain how, in the face of emotional or sensory excess, the nervous system can «distance» itself to protect the individual. This understanding is essential for understanding the exchanges that follow with Dr. Le Doze.
🎙️ Episode 9.1 - Relational Intelligence® with François Le Doze (1/3)
In this first part, Dr. Le Doze describes his career and the origins of his Relational Intelligence® model, the fruit of his clinical experience and neuroscience research. He explains the basic principles and philosophy of this integrative approach.
🎙️ Episode 9.2 - Relational Intelligence® with François Le Doze (2/3)
Here, Dr. Le Doze develops a central point: trauma is not in the event itself, but in the way our organism responds to it. He explains the role of dissociation as a survival response, and deconstructs certain preconceived ideas about this mechanism.
🎙️ Episode 9.3 - Relational Intelligence® with François Le Doze (3/3)
This latest installment focuses on the concrete application of Relational Intelligence® in therapeutic practice. Dr. Le Doze also shares his vision of the future of this method and its integration into healthcare.
These five episodes form a coherent pathway to understanding trauma, its effects on the nervous system and how Relational Intelligence® can accompany healing.
They are aimed at mental health professionals as well as those interested in a detailed understanding of psychological mechanisms.
