About this event

In this workshop, we will explore some of the different ways neurodivergent clients can be particularly vulnerable to harm occurring in therapy.

Exploring relational harm, boundary violations and exploitation; looking at how we might be attentive to the potential for harm in our practices; considering the impact of our own relationships with harm; rupture/repair processes, and learning more about working with neurodivergent people who have been harmed in previous therapy.

How might this workshop impact your practice?

Participants will feel more confident in thinking about our relationships with harm in therapy, particularly with neurodivergent clients.

And , leave feeling more equipped to work with rupture with neurodivergent clients, and feeling more skilled and prepared when neurodivergent clients who have histories of being harmed in therapy consult with us.
