To help others effectively, we need to have enough ‘spare capacity’, which means looking after our own wellbeing too – new research shows us how… Why you should take this course When our day-to-day jobs involve continually listening to other people’s emotional difficulties, how do we avoid being overwhelmed by them ourselves or succumbing to compassion fatigue? We are the ‘tool’ of our trade. It could be argued that we have a duty to those we work with to prioritise our own mental health and wellbeing so that we can give them the best possible service. This live online training events shows you how. ‘Burnout’ is commonly defined as a physical and emotional state caused by excessive or overwhelming workplace stress. This is often specifically related to work but of course feelings of burnout can be impacted or compounded by other life events and caring roles too. Even if we know good stress management techniques, this often isn’t enough. Burnout is a very common phenomena in the ‘helping professions’, A 2018 research review paper published in the Journal of Clinical Psychology analysed 30 years of research on this topic, involving 9,000 psychotherapists. Over half of the therapists they sampled reported “moderate-high levels of stress and burnout”. The good news is that burnout, overwhelm and empathy fatigue are not a given of working in roles where we are consistently exposed to others’ emotional pain. New research and insights into ‘buffering’ the impact of this work mean that we can consciously choose to put in safeguards to our own mental wellbeing, whilst also remaining connected and present with our clients. Emily Gajewski’s online course draws on her extensive experience of working as a therapist and clinical supervisor, in the NHS and privately, for over 20 years. Throughout the day she examines the many ways working in the caring professions can impact us personally and gives you a wealth of practical steps you can take to mitigate them. She also covers the most up-to-date guidance on keeping ourselves well and thriving in caring roles and will help you develop a realistic plan for your own continuing wellbeing.

Essential CPD to deepen your understanding and develop your skills as a therapist CPD Certificate: 3 hours Length: 9.45am – 1.00pm (GMT) LIMITED PLACES – Feb date now full Join Ros Townsend live online on Tuesday 8th October 2024 for this important CPD course, designed specifically for mental health professionals interested in the human givens approach. BONUS – you will get a recording for 2 weeks afterwards to maximise your learning. There are many occasions when a client presents with an excessive emotional response and it is not immediately apparent why this is happening. Perhaps they know that they are ‘over-reacting’ in some way – getting very angry, very fearful – or are experiencing a driven urge to take a particular action – such as eating or having sex. This live online course will help you gain confidence in working safely and ethically with affect bridges to discover if an unhelpful pattern, in the form of a molar memory or sub-threshold trauma is at the root of their experience, allowing you to then determine collaboratively with your client the best ways of addressing that. During the course, there will be plenty of opportunity to ask questions of the tutor, and to engage in exercises and discussions with your peers and colleagues. Why take this course Whether you are a new HG therapist wanting to develop a clear understanding of how to utilise an affect bridge to determine if a molar memory or sub-threshold trauma is present, and to better understand the protocols for working with these, or whether you are an experienced HG practitioner looking to refresh your knowledge and delve deeper into understanding this valuable skillset, this course will help you gain the skills and understanding you need to do so safely and effectively. In an early article regarding molar memories, Joe Griffin termed them ‘an ancient mechanism that is ruining lives’; and the impact of such driven urges on the lives of our clients cannot be underestimated. Molar memories can, on first encountering the theory, seem complicated and unfathomable, but this course will set them – and sub-threshold traumas and the use of the affect bridge to access both – within a clear framework of understanding, linking back to the way in which our brain perceives things (referencing the APET model) and to RIGAAR (how we structure a good therapy session). During the course, numerous case studies will be shared and used as the basis for exercises, and there will be ample opportunity to link the learning to your own experiences in the therapy room. You will gain a clear understanding of: how to follow the treatment protocols for working with molar memories and sub-threshold traumas – adapting these, of course, to each client’s unique model of reality; how to safely and ethically utilise an affect bridge; and how to avoid the danger of creating any false memories. Ros is a brilliant teacher and presenter. She made the whole course interesting, engaging and informative as well as very supportive. She was also very patient with all our questions!GEMMA ROGERS, COUNSELLOR/COACH What the training covers: How APET and RIGAAR relate to one another Why an understanding of APET is essential when working with affect bridge What an affect bridge is How to use affect bridge safely and ethically within your therapy sessions How to avoid the risk of creating false memories Why we must proceed with caution when undertaking affect bridges when working online The difference (in this context) between ‘positive’ and ‘negative’ The tell-tale patterns of a sub-threshold trauma and a molar memory being present A framework to understand the presentations of both sub-threshold traumas and molar memories How to identify a sub-threshold trauma An understanding of the treatment protocol for sub-threshold traumas How to identify a molar memory An understanding of the treatment protocol for molar memories Why molar memories sometimes present differently in complex trauma How to use the understanding of APET and help clients to utilise affect bridge as a positive tool within their lives Who is this course suitable for? This course is designed for both trainee and fully-qualified HG therapists It is also suitable for any mental health professionals interested in the human givens approach It is recommended to all HG practitioners by the Human Givens Institute (HGI) Timings 9.45 am – Join Zoom 10.00 am – Course session starts 1.00 pm – Course ends In any online training it’s important to build in regular breaks and ensure that every 20 minutes there is a shift in focus of attention to pull the eyes away from the screen.
