These sessions are for clinicians of all therapeutic background and field working with complex and dissociative clients.

You will develop and strengthen your understanding of a trauma based presentation, nervous system conceptualisation and related somatic grounding strategies to help your clients regain equilibrium.

If interested we can dive into part work exploration using a range of therapeutic approaches and strategies from schema therapy, ego state therapy, concepts of internal family system (IFS) to understand clients' presentations, symptoms, therapeutic needs and the therapeutic dynamic in your sessions.

All of this is guided by the perspective and understanding of the impact of developmental and attachment trauma on the nervous system and personality structure/sense of self.

The following approaches and modalities guide my case conceptualisation and treatment planning and therefore supervision sessions:

- The Theory of Structural Dissociation of the Personality – to help understand the impact of childhood trauma on the fragmentation of the sense of self and personality
- The Polyvagal Theory – to help understand the impact of trauma on the nervous systems and related survival coping mechanisms during traumatic events, and their ongoing biopsychosocial impact in the present
- Somatic strategies – to help ground the nervous system when triggered outside of its window of tolerance
- Ego state therapy - to work with the different parts of the personality and their trauma influenced perspective of the self, others and the world
- EMDR (standard and modified versions) – to help process traumatic memories that impact clients' perception, understanding, emotions, body sensations, behaviours and urges to present situations

I endeavour to teach you these concepts, meet your clinical skills and professional development needs, enhance your confidence and skills in working with trauma related presentations (including personality disorders), and most importantly convey the love, passion and thrill for the work.
