This is what Dagmar says about this workshop:

This one day workshop offers participants the opportunity to explore some of the key principles that are central to working with trauma, and to review how these inform good practice. Participants will be invited to explore and discuss some of the complex processes involved in trauma work, and the impact that these processes can have on the development of the therapeutic relationship. The belief that the individual is ‘the expert’ on how the traumatic incident impacts their life and day-to-day functioning is central to a person centred perspective.

Key themes on the course are likely to include:

·   Understanding Trauma

·   Developing a therapeutic relationship

·   Trauma assessment

·   Physiology and trauma

·   Phenomenological exploration of relevant skills

·   Self care and the impact of working with trauma on the counsellor

This one day introductory workshop is suitable for Person Centred counsellors and psychotherapists, as well as for practising clinicians who work with, or are interested in, the implications of trauma in relation to the development of the therapeutic relationship. Training hours accrued may be counted towards continuing professional development requirements of professional bodies.
