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. There will be two 10–15 minute comfort breaks during the training and regular opportunities for discussion and exercises in break-out rooms.

Essential skill for all mental health professionals This 2-day workshop gives you the opportunity to see demonstrated, experience, and practice the steps of this powerful technique in a small group under the careful guidance of our expert tutor… Accredited CPD Certificate : 12 hours Length 2 days (9:30am - 4:00pm) Excellent course. A brilliantly encouraging and supportive environment in which to learnHARRIET, WORKSHOP PARTICIPANT Life-changing! 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.
