30-31 Aug | Self-Therapy/Self-Reflective Practise for Schema Therapy Practitioners with Rita Younan, Ruth Holt + Daniela Ho Tan - hosting a group for Asian background clinicians* In Schema Therapy, the therapist’s qualities are central to the therapeutic technique in providing limited re-parenting and a working model of a ‘healthy adult’. An important part of training for Schema Therapists (and therapists in general) therefore is self-reflective practice; to understand and manage the activation of our own underlying schemas and modes. This is especially important for therapists who routinely work with complex patients (e.g. complex trauma, eating disorders, personality disorders) and settings (e.g. prisons, inpatient wards, group therapy work) which can easily trigger our own schema-based reactions. Awareness and management of our own schemas and modes is therefore crucial to effective schema therapy and managing risk of therapist burnout. Participation in the workshop will include practice of new interventions to use with clients and give access to a deeper, ‘experiential’ understanding of schema therapy interventions. There are three ways this workshop could be used for ISST Schema Therapy certification.
The workshop hours can only be used for one of these three ISST requirements, however, they could additionally be used to meet other professional continued education requirements. This two day workshop is based on the Schema Therapy Self-practice/Self-reflection workbook for therapists by Joan Farrell & Ida Shaw “Schema Therapy from the Inside-Out”. Attendance is beneficial for both new and experienced therapists. Location: This workshop is being held at Peppers, Palm Cove, Tropical North Queensland on Friday August 30th and Saturday August 31st from 9.30 to 4.30pm. Cost is $799 for the first 10 registrants and $899 thereafter for all workshop materials and full catering for both days. Peppers are offering discount accommodation for workshop attendees, please go to this link for more information and contact peppers to get 15% off accomodation: https://www.peppers.com.au/beach-club-spa/ Is this workshop helpful if I have completed the retreat previously? Yes - each time we run this workshop we vary the activities and aim to meet group needs. Participants tell us they benefit from each experience. *Asian background clinicians. Daniela Ho Tan (Advanced Schema Therapist) will be facilitating a special stream for clinicians who identify as having an Asian cultural background. This small group will provide space to reflect on the workshop material keeping in mind the challenges that come when working and training in a western paradigm. As a part of the group process there will be opportunity to explore how schemas and modes are shaped by a more collectivist and hierarchical family structure.
