Enjoy a day of enrichment and emotional integration while compassionately and creatively exploring ways to engage with the loss stemming from traumatic experiences and to move forward towards integration and renewal post trauma. The day includes delving into the professional and personal exploration of:

•     introjects, disowned and shamed parts of your self

•     loss stemming from traumatic experiences

•     the joy of coming into contact with the missed experience informing the traumatic injury

•     revisiting and embracing wholeness being witnessed in the present fullness, and entertaining the question, what next?

As this workshop aims to enrich both the person and the therapist in you, it includes time to unpack the Gestalt fundamentals underpinning the work, and how they unfolded during the session. This way participants also benefit from professional development with a focus on:

•     Group therapy essentials— with special attention to safety, contact styles, the value of resistance.

•     When trauma is in the room— Mindful contact, where to go and what to avoid during the work.

•     Tracking and supporting your client while exploring loss and allowing in what's available and new

•     Emotional dysregulation and nourishing regulation skills.

•     Creative experiment in Gestalt therapy— I hope the therapist in you will take delight in the expressive process that the workshop allows; and enjoy another way of working with your client: increasing your resources as a creative Gestalt therapist; exploring various ways to co-creatively bring experiment to life through the use of somatic aids incorporating words, textures, sounds, colour and emotions.
