We are experiencing a global trauma. As therapists, the emotions this stirs up in us - as well as our patients - may feel more challenging than anything we've come across in our careers before.
​
In this two hour workshop - with a strong emphasis on a safe space - we will workshop:
​
-
Common things to look out for in trauma situations
-
How existing theories, especially psychoanalytic theory, can help us make sense of what's happening around us
-
How best to respond to patients/clients who are experiencing trauma
