“Traumatisation occurs when both internal and external resources are inadequate to cope with external threat”
(Van der Kolk, 1989)

This TWO-DAY interactive workshop is about:

• Therapeutic alliance, supporting clients to feel safe in their daily interactions;
• Awareness of the issues encountered through Narrative and Gestalt practices and Motivational Interviewing;
• Understanding of the underpinning tenets and theoretical approaches of therapies used to support clients dealing with historical trauma enabling practitioners to support trauma survivors to achieve positive outcomes;
• Developing co-regulation skills supporting resilience and the development of self-regulation within safe environments, while reducing risks of retraumatization;
• Neurobiological understandings and intersubjective values that support practitioners to navigate: ‘here and now’ responses, and
  Tools to create safe situations in which people who experience complex interpersonal trauma can further navigate their recovery journey.

This evidence-based, person-centred and recovery-focused workshop is your opportunity to delve deeper into particular experiences and needs of trauma survivors
