Attachment and Trauma CPD Workshop - one day training program

Title of Workshop: The Relational Past as Lived in the Interpersonal Present: Using Attachment Theory to Understand Early Trauma and Later Troubled Relationships.

The Attachment and Trauma CPD Workshop one day training program qualifies for 5 points towards CPD and may be used in support of an application to join this register.

Workshop Description: The workshop will focus on the way in which attachment trauma in early life impacts on both our ability to mourn loss and to make and sustain emotionally meaningful and mutually enriching intimate relationships in adulthood.  Trauma will be viewed not only in terms of overt separation, loss and abuse, but also as deriving from the cumulative effect of severe parent-child affective misattunement in a disorganized attachment-caregiving family system. The intergenerational transmission of trauma and of secure, insecure and disorganized patterns of attachment will be explored, in part, by reflecting on our parents’ and grandparents’ attachment experiences and socio-cultural contexts. Participants will be invited to share aspects of their own attachment histories in small groups to illustrate how the internal representation of early self-other relational patterns tend to persevere and become activated and externalised in our current relationships with partners, children, friends and colleagues, particularly at times of stress involving separation and loss. The workshop will include a discussion of the key attachment concepts of the ‘secure base’ and ‘safe haven’. The provision of these emotional functions - by the caregiver in the parent-child relationship, and by each partner in the adult romantic relationship - help to meet the child’s and the adult’s attachment needs, deactivating attachment distress and restoring a sense of security by regulating fear and anxiety. Repeated benign experiences of these kinds may challenge outdated expectancies and promote emotional and psychological growth and change in the individual. The workshop will conclude with an exploration of how we may apply attachment theory and research to our clinical work.

Bill Bliss Seminars - two day training program

Title of Accredited Course:  Critical Incident Debriefing Workshop

Area covered: Workshops organised nationwide

In these times of increased potential for trauma brought about by terrorist activities as well as the issues raised by industrial and traffic accidents or physical assault and even the occurrence of natural disasters therapists have a greater need to be able to intervene before traumatic stress or post traumatic shock can affect the emotional well-being and recovery of people who have been exposed to life changing events. This seminar enables therapists who are not working directly with the uniformed or rescue services to utilise the process for the benefit of members of the public. In addition counsellors working with the uniformed or armed services will find this seminar a highly effective illustration of the seven-stage model that will enable them to set up and use the process in their own environment.
