IDTIA Conversation – October
October 7 @ 6:30 pm - 7:30 pm AEDT
Topic – Dancing with Emotions
Facilitate
d by Virginia Woods
Emotions are a delicate issue in therapy: holding space, inviting expression within boundaries that are able to be held by our participant/client, having trauma awareness are just a few issues.
We will explore ways of inviting participants to express their emotion, and discuss the ethics and boundaries for safety. I will offer some simple tips for invoking the inner observer through mindfulness, and creating a safe approach to the expression of emotion.
Please bring some drawing materials for journaling.
