A CAT Perspective of Trauma and Dissociation

1-day Workshop offered by Catalyse

Friday, 29th April 2016 - 9:30am to 4:30pm

Dalton Ellis, Manchester, M14 5RL

ACAT Member £125 | Non-member £140 including lunch and refreshments (invoicing incurs a £15 additional fee)

Aims of the course:

The workshop offers a pragmatic, creative and optimistic approach to working with trauma and dissociation. CAT offers a grounding framework that can elegantly integrate other ideas such as those gleaned from the theory of structural dissociation, sensorimotor psychotherapy and Jungian psychology. The practitioner is invited to critically consider a multi-dimensional perspective and keep an open mind to what is possible and helpful.  We will provide a balance between information sharing, reflection, active participation and exercises, open frame questions, audio-visual material and hand-outs.

The workshop is structured around the following components:
a)    The resourceful practitioner
b)    Building the therapeutic relationship
c)    Mapping the internal and relational world
d)    Developing a coherent narrative
e)    Safe trauma work
f)    Integration

Learning outcomes:
1.    To have knowledge of the impact of trauma on brain development
2.    To appraise how to keep resourceful in working with emotive and distressing material
3.    To have an understanding of dissociative disorders and how they can affect everyday functioning
4.    To relate the concept of dissociation to the CAT model.
5.    To be familiar with an integrative and relational framework for working safely with trauma and dissociation
6.    To have access to specific tools, skills and resources that can inform and enhance clinical practice
7.    To promote a realistic yet optimistic appraisal of working with complex trauma presentations

Who is it for?
CAT practitioners and psychotherapists, other therapists who are familiar with CAT concepts.
