Healing Parent-Child Relationships
Two day course (10.00am-5.30pm, registration: 9.30-10.00am)
Thursday 22 April and Friday 23 April 2010
Cost: £250
In this ‘hands-on’ intensive training, participants will learn how to heal parent-child relationships which have suffered from too many misconnections, failed connections or attachment ruptures. The trainer will offer an approach that capitalises on the strengths and resources of both child and parent. A special emphasis will be placed on the practitioner’s creative use of self and inventiveness. The course format will include fascinating material and a wealth of skills-building exercises. Course participants who already work with parents and children together will also have the opportunity to present their most challenging cases for consultation. The course is also open to those who do not currently work with parent-child relationships but may wish to do so in the future.
