- Trauma and creativity skills are an effective combination for counsellors and therapists.
- On this weekend, you will learn how to use creative trauma and expressive arts to help clients process traumatic experiences in a gentle way. In addition, this weekend is designed as a way of supporting ourselves around trauma and PTSD through self-care. To support this there will be some personal and group process during these trauma trainings.

To explore how trauma and creativity can easily be combined with other trauma models e.g. person-centred, trauma-focused CBT, Gestalt or Jungian ways of working.
