Working with adult survivors of abuse: self care and making sense of counter transference.
This workshop will explore the complexities of counter transference in work with abuse survivors, and the importance of understanding its origins; its impact on the therapeutic relationship and the potential or actual effect on the counsellors self and well being. Time will also be given to considering how counsellors manage this work, and what they need to be able to ‘survive’ this potentially distressing and disturbing work without damage to the self. As well as input from Moira time will be made available for discussion in pairs and small groups.
