When clients do not have a history of secure attachments, they may blame themselves for being unable to relate in the way they would like. They impose unrealistic expectations on themselves and then self-punish for their perceived failures.
This workshop will provide you with the foundational model and tools of attachment theory specifically tailored for applying to your own clinical practice. You’ll gain the knowledge you need to help your clients develop qualities of secure attachment... no matter the modality you’re working with. You’ll discover:

Objectives
When our clients carry the wounds of trauma, abuse and neglect, these dynamics don’t just impact their current relationships with partners, family members, friends and co-workers – they can also play out in the therapeutic relationship.
Enactments within the therapy space can be powerful and disturbing experiences, for both client and therapist. When working with the non-verbal, un-integrated experience of trauma, they may feel overwhelming.
When we learn how to spot them, and develop the resources to reflect on what is happening, enactments can also become a potent means of therapeutic repair – and the bridge to relational healing.
In this all-new, multi-disciplinary recording, you will have the opportunity to reflect on working with such complex relational dynamics from several crucial clinical vantage points:
Watch each speaker for an engaging, in-depth presentation, filled with guidance and insight you can immediately use in your practice. Then these three experts will come together for an exclusive panel hosted by fellow UKCP registered psychotherapist and PESI UK Director Tracy Jarvis addressing questions and clinical challenges that we face every day.
You’ll end feeling alert to the impact of trauma and associated relational dynamics wherever and whenever they manifest – with the skills to manage their impact, strategies to mitigate secondary trauma, and knowledge of how to turn a potentially overwhelming enactment into a therapeutic opportunity.

Common enactment issues in supervision
With Michael Soth
The modern - and especially somatic - trauma therapies, aided by revolutionary neuroscientific understandings, have made a profound contribution to the field over the last 20 years. Increasingly, trauma therapists come into supervision distraught, frustrated and despirited because it is not working as it ‘should’. The assumption that the same trauma theories and techniques can equally well be applied to developmental trauma is now becoming questionable. As soon as developmental trauma is involved, what really matters is the client's implicit and unconscious experience of the therapeutic relationship, regardless of the therapist's competence and input. The relational complications and vicissitudes that arise between client and therapist used to be the province of psychoanalysis and depth psychotherapy, but they can now be seen to be relevant to trauma work, too. In this talk you’ll learn:
Inter-relational complexities of trauma in groups, teams and institutions
With Anne Aiyegbusi

The key to using countertransference to resolve relational enactments
With Kathy Steele
When the client is highly dissociative, the therapist is vulnerable to intense and sometimes overwhelming emotional experiences that are often projections of fragmented parts of the client, or non-verbal enactments of unintegrated trauma. We will discuss these emotions that range from positive to negative, and how to understand and use them therapeutically.
