While pockets of good training, practice and support certainly do exist, in general as a profession we tend to be confused and have limited understanding of trauma-sensitive therapy and treatment planning. Few therapists are trained to work confidently with trauma or understand how to orient themselves towards the traumatised individuals who come through their door. It is not uncommon for therapy to seem to make little progress or to end prematurely, and at worst it can become inadvertently retraumatising. Fortunately this is a situation we can do something to prevent.

The neuroscience on which contemporary trauma practice rests points to working with the body, and this is another gap in many core trainings. This informative and practical workshop will therefore offer a mix of theory, technique and process to shed light on what is going on. Of particular importance is understanding how to reframe the ways in which a person may have learnt to survive. By keeping the needs of the individual at the heart the work, a more nuanced approach can be developed. Read More

About the Speaker

Miriam Taylor is a UKCP registered Gestalt psychotherapist, supervisor and international trainer who has been in private practice since 1995. Her background was in adult education before training as a counsellor and psychotherapist. Working as clinical lead of a young peoples’ service pointed her towards specialising in trauma, and for several years she worked in a specialist trauma service. With an ecological perspective on relationship, Miriam’s particular interest is in the relational integration of trauma and the role of the body. She teaches in the UK and internationally, and is on the Leadership Team of Relational Change. Publications include ‘Trauma Therapy and Clinical Practice’ (2014) and several peer reviewed and invited articles. Her second book ‘Deepening Trauma Practice: A Gestalt Approach to Ecology and Ethics’ was published in summer 2021.
