Aqualyx is one of the leading brands that is used for fat dissolving. Aqualyx can be used on the face and body to great effect. Just one session can dramatically reduce fat deposits and return a more youthful and defined facial contour for small areas such as the jowls and chin. For larger areas like tummies, bingo wings and bums, clients may need up to 5 sessions to see dramatic results. Aqualyx & Deso are water-based solutions injected into the fatty tissue, surround the cells and destroy them. The remains of the fat cells are then excreted by the body safely as waste.

Essential self-care for helping professionals New research gives us practical ways to prevent overwhelm or burnout in ourselves and others, manage workplace stress, avoid ‘compassion fatigue’ and much more… Accredited CPD Certificate: 6 hours Length: 1 day (9.15am - 4.00pm GMT) Really interesting and engaging online course with lots of tips to support ourselves and our clientsCOMPLEMENTARY THERAPIST Live Online Training – Join Emily Gajewski on Thursday 11th April 2024 to take some important time out for yourself, or to help those you support.

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. Excellent online training…. very insightful and thought provokingHILARY KEARNS, ACUPUNCTURIST What you will learn The latest research on how to prevent burnout in your working life How to identify burnout in ourselves and others – the warning signs you need to look out for Easy, practical steps to protect yourself in stressful work situations How to avoid ‘compassion fatigue’ Evidence based ‘top tips’ for optimal working practices to maintain your own wellbeing The Cycle of Stress – how to ‘work with it’ for optimal health An understanding of vicarious trauma – and how to avoid it Techniques to calm yourself in client sessions when you are ‘triggered’ by something they bring up Understanding the difference between compassion fatigue and empathy fatigue Reducing your own risk of depression when you’re worried about your clients The joy of creating ‘flow’ in our working life Constructive ways to manage difficult feelings that arise as a result of your work Practical techniques for grounding and ‘letting go’ of clients How to safely explore our own areas of vulnerability Useful tips for ongoing stress management What you need to maintain your own mental health How to re-ground yourself if you’re feeling overwhelmed or derailed by a client An opportunity for you to reflect on your own practice and wellbeing, take some time to step back, learn what works for you and how you can create more spare capacity Time to relax, try out techniques and refresh your tools to support your wellbeing and build resilience How to utilise what you’ve learnt to create your own realistic wellbeing plan.

Time is of the essence - early support is important An estimated 1.25 million people are affected by eating disorders in the UK – but there are many, many more who may not meet diagnostic criteria or simply don’t get the help they need. Absolutely anyone can be affected by eating difficulties; all ages, all body sizes, all genders, all races, and disordered eating can take many forms. It sits on a spectrum between what might be considered ‘normal eating’ and an eating disorder and may include symptoms and behaviours of eating disorders, but at a lesser frequency or lower level of severity. Eating difficulties don’t just affect the person involved but also their families and friends too, who often feel frightened, confused, and powerless to help. The aim of this live, evidence-based, online training with Jo Baker, a highly experienced psychotherapist, is to give you a greater understanding of eating difficulties as well as eating disorders and body image. You’ll explore the signs and symptoms, and the effects they have on an individual as well as developing new skills around effective communication with someone who is struggling. It will dispel some of the myths around eating difficulties and also help you find ways of calming yourself in moments of overwhelm to ensure you can be as supportive and helpful as you’d like to be… This course is relevant to a range of disordered eating behaviours including: restrictive eating compulsive eating irregular eating inflexible eating avoiding a type of food or food group self-induced vomiting laxative, diuretic, enema misuse supplement misuse clinical eating disorders BONUS RECORDING – you will also get a recording for 2 weeks after the event to maximise your learning.

A great weight has been lifted off my shoulders.NURSE (PREVIOUSLY TRAUMATISED BY A CAR ACCIDENT) Why take this course We have over 20 years of experience in teaching the rewind technique to health and welfare professionals – we’ve drawn on that experience to develop a course which gives you enough time to thorough absorb and practice the technique, understand why it works and to experience it yourself, so that you leave confident in your ability to use the rewind safely and effectively. The Rewind Technique* is an effective psychological intervention for successfully treating trauma and phobias and one of the most important skills you need to master to be able to work successfully with any anxiety disorder or condition which may have developed as a result of unresolved trauma. Even the most severe phobic and post-traumatic stress (PTSD) symptoms can be successfully addressed using the the rewind technique taught on this 2-day course, which has been refined* in line with understandings from neuroscience to make it as safe and reliably effective as possible. An essential therapeutic technique to have in your therapeutic ‘toolkit’, it is important to learn and practice it under the careful guidance of our expert tutor – you will leave the course knowing how to use the rewind technique safely and effectively having watched live demonstrations, had plenty of time to practice the steps involved with fellow students, the opportunity to experience the technique yourself and more. Our workshop has limited numbers so you will have plenty of opportunities for asking questions and the tutor, who has extensive clinical experience. Using the rewind technique you can, often surprisingly quickly, detraumatise bad memories, stop flashbacks and other PTSD symptoms, cure phobias, banish nightmares and reduce anxiety so you can help the victims of abuse, rape, violence, car accidents, fire, terrorism and panic attacks, heart attacks and other life-threatening experiences. Another key benefit of this technique is non disclosure – there is no need for people to repeatedly revisit or talk about specific details of the events that have traumatised them. This helps avoid embedding the trauma further and making the situation worse – as can sometimes inadvertently happen in other therapeutic approaches to treating trauma – and helps prevent the therapist or counsellor being vicariously traumatised by what they might hear. It is also invaluable when working therapeutically with people who have suffered persistent physical or sexual abuse, and people with OCD. People suffering from other conditions, such as depression, addictions or uncontrollable anger, may have experienced a traumatic event, which needs to be successfully detraumatised in order for them to move on with their lives. As a result of our training in the rewind technique – which we have been delivering for over 20 years – our graduates have brought relief to literally thousands of people (eg. case history / PTSD Resolution). Please note This is a powerful technique, which needs to be implemented with care – we recommend you take the time to learn it in person in a small group with a skilled and highly experienced tutor who can guide you through the important steps involved, oversee you as you practise them, answer your questions and give you crucial direct feedback. The version of the rewind technique* you will learn on this course has been refined in line with understandings from neuroscience to make it as safe and reliably effective as possible. The course is taught over two days to ensure you have enough time to thoroughly absorb and practice the steps involved so that you are confident in using it and know how to do so safely and effectively with clients. You will also learn when it is NOT appropriate to use this technique and how to ensure you avoid embedding any trauma further, or making a phobia worse. Guided imagery and visualisation skills form an essential part of the rewind technique, which is why they are a requirement for attending this course. This has huge potential to change people's lives for the better. I can't wait to put what I've learnt here to good usePSYCHIATRIC SUPPORT WORKER What will you learn How to detraumatise people quickly and safely The necessary skills to treat even severe phobias Why this version of the rewind technique is so effective, and how it works Under careful guidance from the tutor, you will: revisit key skills for relaxing clients in order to successfully work using the technique walk and talk through a step-by-step breakdown of the rewind technique see a live demonstration of working with a phobia or trauma practice each stage of the rewind technique in pairs practice the entire process, with other course participants, under supervision You will also gain: Vital tools for psycho-education – both adding to your own understanding and to pass on to clients A clear understanding of the fear response and how PTSD and phobias develop The detrimental impact traumas and phobias can have on a person’s life The crucial role of the pattern-matching processes in the brain in triggering phobic responses and post traumatic stress symptoms How the main treatment techniques for treating post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), sub-threshold trauma and phobias (including EMDR, EFT and CBT) work – their advantages and disadvantages Why the rewind technique draws on the innate ability we all have to recover from trauma Pre-disposing factors for suffering a problematic post-traumatic response (or developing a phobia) Why critical incident debriefing increases the incidence of PTSD How this version of the rewind technique has been modified to make it safer and more reliable Trauma-focused rewinding: the psycho-biological reason why this refined rewind technique works so consistently well A step-by-step breakdown of the essential stages of the rewind technique The chance to see a live demonstration of working with a phobia or trauma You will leave with: The confidence to begin using the technique ethically and safely A clear understanding of the advantages of using a non-intrusive psychological technique to treat trauma, PTSD and phobias (where the client does not have to go into details about or repeatedly ‘revisit’ what has traumatised them) What to do if a client as an abreaction Important information about when not to use this technique – and what can be done instead An understanding of how the rewind technique can be used to work with Complex Trauma and cases involving ‘freeze’, shutdown or dissociative responses How you can carefully apply this technique to relieve a huge range of anxiety disorders Greater confidence in dealing with anxiety disorders and distress caused by trauma, phobias and flashbacks An understanding of how rapidly transformative this technique can be; on the last afternoon we view a filmed therapy session (and follow up) in which Joe Griffin uses the rewind technique to relieve a young man of his severe shark phobia There is also plenty of opportunity for you to ask questions and to experience and practice, under careful guidance, the various stages of the rewind technique yourself. Who is this course suitable for? Anyone working with distressed, phobic or traumatised people, who has already taken our Guided Imagery and Visualisation workshop (and ideally the Therapeutic Power of Language workshop too) as these skills are essential components of the rewind technique. If you help traumatised people (including children) or people suffering from any form of phobia or anxiety disorder – this includes: psychotherapists, counsellors, mental health nurses, OTs, health visitors, social workers, psychiatrists, GPs, clinical psychologists, midwives, welfare officers, youth workers, hypnotherapists and those working with traumatised members of public services, such as: firefighters, police, paramedics and military personnel – you will find the rewind technique and associated skills hugely helpful. Course requirements Guided imagery, relaxation and visualisation are an integral component of the Rewind Technique – if you don’t already have experience in using these skills therapeutically with others you must complete our Guided Imagery and Visualisation for Therapeutic Change workshop before attending this course (this is always run the day before our rewind technique training). This is to ensure you get the most out of this 2-day course and also have the necessary skills for practising the rewind technique safely and effectively. You would also find it useful to attend the Therapeutic Power of Language workshop beforehand if you can. All 3 workshops count towards Part 1 of the HG Diploma. Ros Townsend’s live online training Trauma: Patterns of the past is also useful for anyone working with or supporting someone suffering from unresolved trauma, or who would like to understand their own experiences of trauma better. She also runs a workshop on working with Complex Trauma. *About the Rewind Technique The Rewind Technique originated from one developed by Richard Bandler, one of the founders of NLP, when it was called the Visual/Kinaesthetic Dissociation protocol. A variant of this was developed by Dr David Muss, who called it the Rewind Technique. The version of the Rewind Technique you will learn on this 2-day course was refined by Joe Griffin and Ivan Tyrrell, co-founders of the human givens approach, to make it as reliably effective and safe as is possible by aligning the method with their insights into how trauma and phobias are processed in the brain. HG Therapists now follow a specific Rewind Protocol which follows the essential steps of the process that Griffin and Tyrrell set out. Course format This intense 2-day training proceeds through a blend of talks, live demonstrations, skill-developing exercises, practice sessions (under careful guidance) and deconstruction of filmed examples of the technique being used, including one with a severely traumatised young woman. There is also plenty of opportunity for networking and discussion during the breaks. The course was previously entitled: The fast phobia and trauma (PTSD) cure – a 2-day workshop in the rewind technique This course has been independently accredited by the internationally recognised CPD Standards Office for 12 hours of CPD training. On completion of this training you’ll receive CPD certificates from the College and the CPD Standards Office.
