Internal Family Systems Therapy within supervision: Opening the door to Self with Dr Zandra Bamford.
(For therapists, psychologists, supporters and supervisors.)
Do all therapists have a point at which they pathologise or ‘other’?
In this workshop we will be exploring ways to consider this within ourselves. Holding the premise that if and when we reach this “othering” place within our work we are gifted an opportunity for our own inner work and healing. We will be considering principles and techniques that allow therapists, psychologists and practitioners to turn inwards and heal to offer clearer and cleaner spaces for clients. This workshop will be challenging the concepts of transference and counter transference and offering new, honouring and respectful tools for our supervision spaces.
(Internal Family Systems Therapy is a model that has been described as 'a paradigm shift for psychological therapies' and is quickly gaining increasing popularity amongst counsellors, psychotherapists and psychologists particularly as a way of working with clients who have experienced trauma.)
