Working with Attachment

By

A One Day Workshop – RUN ONLINE ON ZOOM

This one day workshop will look at a different way of observing and working with clients who are displaying attachment traits.

Bowlby’s Attachment Theory is still as valid now as it was when it was initially formulated in the 1960’s.

Our attachment style impacts on every relationship and it is valuable for every professional to be able to both recognise and work with individuals according to their attachment blueprint.

This experiential workshop will offer a holistic view of working with attachment.

Psychotherapy of Obsession, Habitual Worrying and Repetive Fantasizing

By

A One Day workshop – Run Online on Zoom

Facilitated by Dr Ruth Birkebaek

This workshop will focus on the interpersonal and intrapersonal dynamics of obsession, habitual worrying and repetitive fantasizing. We will examine the relational disruptions in the origin of obsession. Through demonstration of individual therapy we will examine how the healing of obsession can occur through respect, validation, contact, authenticity and involvement.

Ruth will present a Six-Point treatment plan developed by Richard Erskine for the psychotherapy of clients who engage in obsession, habitual worrying and repetitive fantasizing. We will explore the psychological function, script beliefs, process of avoidance, archaic experiences, relational needs and self-responsibility that are dimensions within this client group. We will discuss how methods of cognitive understanding, affective expression and relational psychotherapy can be applied in therapy planning.

Participants will understand the phenomenological experience of this client group, including their attachment patterns, script beliefs and unconscious relational patterns.  They will formulate a therapeutic perspective that will include the significance of attunement to client’s affect and rhythm while resonating with the client’s level of emotional development.

This workshop will be useful to psychotherapists, counsellors and psychologists who want to apply theory in clinical practice and to enhance their effectiveness through identifying relational aspects of obsession, habitual worrying and repetitive fantasizing.

Psychology of Self Care

By

A Two Day Workshop – run online on Zoom

In the helping professions there is a high risk of ‘burnout’ – we are so busy tending to others that we can end up neglecting our own self-care.  This workshop will ground and bring you as a practitioner to the point of prioritising your self-renewal to a point of thriving (not just surviving) our professional journey.

In booking on this workshop, you will be investing in yourself – your most important asset in the job you do!  It will include both personal and professional challenge alongside examples of how to do ‘self-care’.
