The Many Faces of Becoming: Re-imagining Parental & Perinatal Psychotherapy

There are many diverse experiences of becoming and identities that can emerge before, during and beyond parenthood. This conference aims to invite reflection and exploration on the experiences of transition and transformation that occur during the parenting journey.

Grounded in the concept of physis, the day will open and close with reflections on hope, change and becoming. We will open space for discussion around the intricacies of fertility; masculinity and fatherhood; couples and family dynamics; the complexities of perinatal mental health, experiences of the existential - grief and loss; and the weight of societal expectations and the unrealistic expectations of self and towards the self

The conference is dedicated to creating space for dialogue, and to a more inclusive and responsive approach to perinatal and parental psychotherapy and welcomes all whose lived and professional experiences can help deepen the conversation, exploring how psychotherapy can support the many faces of becoming.

This conference was sparked by the collective passion of Our Evolution, an international group of experienced counsellors/therapists and others, offering psychotherapeutic support to everyone embarking on the joys, challenges and losses of the transformative journey of parenthood. These 6 areas are the topics we are pondering, and we invite you to join us to co-create and expand the dialogue at the conference today.
