Working with currently manifesting addictions and compulsive behaviour can be difficult for client and therapist, both together and individually. As a counsellor, when I’m facing a tricky and isolating situation, I look to helpful experience and insights (my own and others’) to guide me, and this is what I hope to share during this Studio Day.
The Course
I will offer perspectives and practical tools that both ground me and build upon 12 step and non-12 step models of addiction. Drawing on different modes of psychotherapy, neuroscience, forensic practice and existential philosophy, I will present my mind-body-spirit approach to addressing the dilemmas and decisions often required with this work.
Participants are encouraged to contribute their own experience and practice, and no one model of working with addictions is favoured.
