The Impact of Outside on Client Presentation
Eco TA Workshop 3: Thursday 23rd May 2024 18.00 until 20.00 BST
Workshop Outline
Different landscapes evoke a different construct of self in each of us. From feeling our best selves on a summer’s day at the park, or our most calm by water, we all carry a narrative of who we are in these different places. Holding space for an ecological perspective can add many positives to sense of self, and also touch more deeply on painful unconscious material.
In the fourth workshop in this series, we will be exploring how we might account for variations on expected indoor client presentations whilst working outside, and holding space to consider intersectional implications which may need accounting.
Who is it aimed at?
Trainees and practitioners in practice, or nearing starting practice, who want to include ecological considerations within their work.
Aims
- To provide participants with an intersectional consideration of the privileged and oppression which may be stimulated in different clients in different landscapes
- To create space to explore our assumptions of client presentations and challenge thinking about the influence an outdoor space might bring
Learning Objectives
Participants should
- Be able to consider how outdoor working may impact client presentations and the nature of therapeutic work outdoors as potentially different to indoors
- Be able to consider how different parts of identity have different relationships with different landscapes
