Thinking or knowing: So many people think they know but in fact don't know. Thinking and knowing are two totally different things. If we think we know were basing that on our own perception without any current information to define it otherwise, which many of us do, then we use that as the reality.
Is it better to think or know?
In order to make a movement forward which is in reality and works then we have to engage with other input to know and not think we know. I could go for a bus which I think should come at a certain time but without any conversation with the bus I don't know if it will arrive at that time. Dialouge gives us reality which we can then work with keeping it in our own mind dosent.

Defining ourselves

I see a lot of input on forums about how we, helpers, define ourselves and how our work might be classed as not good enough or we might have the imposter syndrome. In my view our work as Therapists, Counsellors etc is to help people to make sense of their world or to help them to see the choices they have and support them in getting there. I don’t have a view on how that happens or the magic pill to get there but lots of my client’s initially do believe that I’m going to save them. I have to strenuously challenge that view and I do loose some clients who only see that as what I should do for them, to take responsibility for them and their issue and advise how they might do things differently to make it go away.
In my view this would be a disastrous mistake as if we as individuals do not take responsibility for our position then no change can ever take place or changes made, its one of my guiding principles to look at when working with people, they have to take their responsibility for what is happening or where they are in their life. If a client chooses not to do these things, then no amount of good intention or professional experience will ever work so they make disconnect from me if they are unable to do this.
Now some people might see that as I having failed in my work, them disconnecting, but I see that as a success that they have been able to make a choice and disconnect from me, that is a movement of change that they have chosen to do. I don’t think we can ever fail we might not achieve the end result we believed we should but then its not us that should be constructing that end result, as its our perception of what a good ending should be and we are then possibly leading the client instead of walking with them on their journey.
The only failure we can ever make in my opinion is if we judge someone harshly, disrespect or abuse them in some way or professionally accept work outside our competency. So don’t worry whether you have done a good job or not if a client makes a choice and we have been involved in that choice in any way then you have done a good job. Reflection of our practice is good and essential, assassination of us or our practice is not.

July 16th Using Somatic Therapy with Client's – benefits, challenges, and reflection process.

Somatic Therapy acknowledges connection between body and mind it uses our Sensing – Emotion – Thoughts- Image – Behaviour to connect us to the Client's world. It helps us to develop better understanding of what is happening in our
body and in the mind. This also helps us to become aware of how the changes in our body movement can bring up to the surface different emotions, thoughts and images, giving us more choice of understanding the Client's world.

Jung defined sensation as a psychological function and argued that
sensation “is related not only to the outer stimuli, but also to the inner”*
For C, G. Jung The archetype is a psychosomatic concept, linking body and psyche, instinct and
image.

Come and join us in the experience of exploring this wonderful if not challenging world, experience the aspect of this connection and see how it can be a valuable tool to enhance and support your work.

Ian runs and maintains a progressive and successful therapeutic business in West Yorkshire. He has been at the sharp end of building a business from scratch over the last 24 years and has been successful in keeping that business growing and succeeding over those years. He is on the cutting edge of being at one with the Client in all aspects of connection both Mentally, Emotionally and Physically and connecting at a much deeper level with his work, which builds trust and empathy with the Client. He uses the space between Counsellor and Client to inform and connect with his work, picking up on the transference and communication not seen but felt.

Accredited 2 day workshop Saturday 29th and Sunday 30th May2021. How to work integratively and safely with abused Clients

Ian comes to this workshop with over 20 years’ experience of working with Clients who have or are experiencing abuse in their lives, indeed his first Client had abuse as a background trigger to their issues around low confidence and self-esteem. This work experience started his journey of knowledge and awareness in this most difficult, heart wrenching but most rewarding work. His awareness knowledge and understanding that he has gained over those years will be fully shared with you on this workshop and some of the scenarios which give indications of an abuse process are explored below, although there are many more.

This workshop covers the understanding of working with abused Clients or Clients who may present and abuse is the underlying issue. It will look at and explore, using your intuitive feelings that something may not be helping the Client connection, something is getting in the way. It might be an interruption to the work, Client no shows or late attendance, maybe it’s that the Client becomes awkward in communicating or seems to resort to childish behaviour. The work might seem half completed or doesn’t have a flow to it, jumping around with no consistency to the work. This could be a signal of an abusive aspect to the Clients life.

The tools I use will encompass NLP ideas around communication and signs of distress with the Client. An understanding of body language and how that can play a part in deflection methods. It will look at pace and presentation of the work as well as scripts that the Client may use such as self-blaming to offer insights into their world. It will also look at the drama triangle and how we might be asked to play the part of rescuer or persecutor. It also covers flashbacks and how they may tumble out in no particular order and how to work constructively with them.
