BONUS RECORDING – the training is recorded, in case anyone experiences technical difficulties on the day, so you will also get a recording for a limited time afterwards to maximise your learning. Why take this course Obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) is not only distressing for sufferers but for their family members and friends too. Contrary to the popular view of OCD being harmless over-cleanliness or simply checking things over and over again, people living with OCD experience a high level of anxiety – and the condition can damage their relationships, social and work lives, and physical health. Many sufferers are ashamed of their problem and hide it. Sometimes therapists fail to recognise the rarer forms of OCD and therefore fail to offer effective treatment. And many people with milder forms of OCD do not realise that they can be helped, and do not seek help until their condition becomes much more severe. This accredited live online course offers an in-depth look at OCD in all its guises and focuses on practical and effective methods of treatment – OCD recovery is possible in most cases. The day is interactive and includes demonstration videos of therapy sessions, short video clips, in-depth discussions and case studies. The films of the therapy sessions and the video of dealing with intrusive thoughts were particularly usefulSCHOOL NURSE What will you learn New information that will enable you to help OCD sufferers more effectively A better understanding of OCD, what it is and how it develops The ability to recognise the less familiar types of OCD – these are often missed by both client and therapist An effective 4-step method for treating OCD New ways to help people overcome their compulsive tendencies Illuminating video clips of OCD sufferers describing their experience Helpful ways parents and educators can prevent signs of OCD in children and teenagers from developing further The important role of guided imagery in treatment and why it improves success rates How to separate the person from their OCD ‘Pure O’ – we look at ‘purely obsessional’ OCD, where people experience distressing intrusive thoughts without any external signs of compulsions The chance to observe effective therapy for OCD and discuss case studies How obsessive compulsive disorder fits with other psychological conditions – and with autism What to do when OCD symptoms are firmly entrenched The opportunity to discuss some of your own cases with a highly knowledgeable tutor How to handle challenging cases successfully and more… Course Programme The ‘Obsessive Compulsive Disorder – understanding OCD and how best to treat it’ online course starts at 9.15am and runs until 4.00pm.

How to create healing stories for distressed children

By Human Givens College

A masterclass in devising therapeutic metaphors This inspiring online training day gives you powerful, non-intrusive ways to help distressed young people – and others – overcome difficulties in their lives – the skills you will learn can also be used with adults Accredited CPD: 6 hours Length: 1 day (9.15am - 4.00pm GMT) LIVE ONLINE – Join Pamela Woodford live online on Tuesday 18th June 2024 for this enjoyable, experiential CPD accredited training day – you will have plenty of opportunities to ask questions, take part in exercises to practice the steps involved, come up with pertinent metaphors and create your own story. Limited numbers. BONUS RECORDING – you will also get a recording of the tutor sessions for a limited time afterwards to maximise your learning. >> If you can’t make this date please register your interest below and we’ll let you know as soon as a new date is available. Fantastic online training, engaging and thought-provoking throughout. The confidence Pamela has given me will impact positively on my everyday practice, I am truly inspired...PSYCHOTHERAPIST Why take this course Children’s natural affinity with stories gives us an incredibly powerful, non-directive way to help emotionally distressed and abused young people, who can sometimes be hard to reach in any other way. On this practical live training event you will learn how to tap into your own metaphorical brain to create therapeutic stories and metaphors ‘in the moment’ that are appropriate to each individual’s circumstances and experiences. Throughout the day Pamela – a master storyteller and highly experienced psychotherapist – draws on her own case histories, metaphor and story examples as she guides you through the steps involved in ‘thinking on your feet’ and creating a story yourself in the moment. By the end of the day you will have lots of new, innovative ways to engage with and help distressed children deal with the experiences they have had – whilst also offering them hope, understanding, and new ways of thinking and feeling about life and themselves. Indeed, you may well be surprised at how quickly positive psychological changes occur as a result of the stories you will create and tell ‘in the moment’. Stories also play a crucial role in child development – through the ways the different characters think, act and overcome difficulties, children gain important templates for understanding the world and dealing with the challenges and situations they will meet in life – both now and in the future. They are a wonderful way to help build resilience. Storytelling and the careful use of therapeutic metaphor are crucial elements of successful counselling and psychotherapy – they help bypass assumptions and rigid thinking to offer a new, broader way of looking at things, awaken innate resources and offer crucial hope – just what struggling children need… Wonderful, interactive online course.
