Staying safe from suicide- best practice guidance (full day)
Supporting individuals who are self-harming or experiencing suicidal ideation – best practice guidance
Working with clients’ disclosure of non-contact sexual offending
Working with clients who sexually offend is helping provide protection for children. This statement may feel contentious, and the aim of this day is to explore the implications of this and help therapists explore the issues that arise when a client discloses non-contact sexual offending, such as viewing child sex abuse material (CSAM) online. The day will provide a place to explore one’s own responses, the challenges of maintaining the Core Conditions when encountering this group and considerations about working safely, safeguarding and reporting.
Working with shame
The workshop will explore shame from a biopsychosocial perspective with reference to various shame models including Shame Containment Theory. It will look at the origins of shame in people’s lives and the growing impact it can have over time. It is well known that Adverse Childhood Experiences can have a detrimental impact on adult life, patterns of behaviour and relationships, and shame can play a part in that.
