Suffering In Extremis
Transpersonal Psychotherapy has traditionally concerned itself with the interface between psychology and spirituality. Integrative Psychosynthesis regards that interface from the perspective of embodied soul. With a rapidly changing world, what does Integrative Psychosynthesis offer those suffering in extremis, by they victims of torture, war, asylum seekers, victims of domestic violence, terrorism, or natural disasters? What is the place of soul when urgent assistance is needed today to help clients to manage extreme levels of stress and trauma?
This workshop will be in two parts over two evenings:
1. Theory of Trauma
Understanding trauma, its physical and psychological impact drawing selectively on methods of healing from contemporary psychotherapy based on neuroscience, relational and body therapies within an Integrative Psychosynthesis framework.
2. Clinical Practice
Application of clinical skills for working with the traumatised client from a soulful and intersubjective perspective with case examples.
Relevant text will be provided beforehand.
