5 Day Course – Presented by Karen Burke, M.Sc. Gestalt Psychotherapy
The aim of the course is to enable people working with both children and/or adults to be able to respond effectively to their clients’ trauma. We will consider the effects of trauma on the brain, mind, body, behaviours and subsequent motivation. Empathic listening, reflective dialogue and therapeutic interventions that will support the client in their day to day living will be explored. Models of trauma will be discussed and therapeutic tools and techniques will be used.
