27-28 Aug | Self-Therapy/Self-Reflective Practise for Schema Therapy Practitioners with Rita Younan, Ruth Holt & Megan Fry 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.
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, Noosa Resort & Villas, Sunshine Coast Queensland on Saturday August 27th and Sunday August 28th from 9.30 to 4.30pm. Cost is $799, early bird before June 30th, $899 thereafter.
