Overview of workshop

Personal reformulation (PR) is a form of personal and professional development based on cognitive analytic therapy. The therapist and client collaboratively negotiate the focus but the emphasis is their professional role. This helps to provide focus and containment as a PR is not therapy, but gives useful insight into the psychology of workplace relationships.

Personal reformulation is used increasingly in a range of training and staff wellbeing contexts and with different professions. It is the personal development component of ACAT accredited CAT Skills and Foundation courses and has been applied in other healthcare trainings, by qualified health professionals and in wellbeing services. It is applicable for occupational and employee assistance programmes.

Any CAT practitioner can offer a personal reformulation. This workshop provides an opportunity to share the collective experience and learning of a group of Catalyse Associates involved in providing PRs, some for over a decade. It will help to demonstrate the different styles and skills within the PR framework.

Aims and learning outcomes

There are two parts to the day:

The morning focuses on what a PR is, some history, how they have evolved and different ways of using very brief reformulatory approaches using CAT

The afternoon shares key messages from our own evaluations, past and current research and feedback from those who have had a PR. We will work together to pull out the valuable lessons for practice from these sources.

Participants will learn about :

  • Using very brief approaches based on CAT
  • What is involved in offering a PR
  • The frame and how to structure the PR
  • The start of the PR and how to give participants a sense of what may be covered
  • How to develop the CAT reformulation ‘map’
  • Reflections at the end of the session
  • Ways of approaching the follow–up
  • What do those receiving PRs find most and least helpful
  • Applications of the PR

The learning will be sufficient for those new to personal reformulation to begin to offer these, and continue to build on emerging best practice.

Who is it for?

The event will be relevant for qualified and trainee CAT therapists (practitioner & psychotherapist level) who are already familiar and experienced in providing cognitive analytic therapy.

Facilitators

Clive Turpin will lead the morning session. Clive has offered PRs for Catalyse since the beginning, has written blogs about their value and was previously the Catalyse PR workstream lead.

Dawn Bennett will lead the afternoon session. Dawn is currently the Catalyse PR workstream lead, supports the PR therapists and liaises with organisations to promote PRs. She has reviewed all the evaluations of those receiving PRs through Catalyse.

Other Catalyse PR therapists will contribute to the day. The day aims to offer varied voices alongside shared collective experience of offering PRs, in the spirit of learning together.
