Trauma personal therapy retreat (for qualified psychotherapists and counsellors)
This retreat is exclusively for qualified counsellors and psychotherapists.
Limited to six places.
Most of us have experienced events in utero, infancy, childhood, adolescence and as adults that have imprinted on us in a negative way; happenings which may have arrested our psychological development, resulted in us splitting off parts of ourselves, creating untrue negative beliefs about ourselves and doubt about deserving to have our needs met or to be happy or content. These distressing events will have impacted on how we relate to ourselves, others and the world, may have dulled our life force and spirit and held us back from becoming all that we can be.
This is a unique opportunity to explore and process trauma in a safe and supportive environment with Sue Parker Hall, a specialist with over 20 years experience in practising, teaching and researching anger, rage and shame issues and trauma processing. Sue defines trauma simply as "any emotional response to life experience, whether of epic or apparently trivial proportions, which has not yet been processed" (Anger, Rage and Relationship, 2008).
Compassionately understanding and being able to process our own trauma improves our relationship with ourselves, others and the world and we become more confident and effective in working with our clients’ trauma.
