Here’s what Dagmar says about this workshop:

This workshop offers participants the opportunity to reflect on the issue of client self-harm. We will explore our understanding of self-harm and how as practitioners we relate to individuals who self-harm. We will consider key attitudes which support the development of the therapeutic relationship underpinned by person-centred concepts, including the importance of empathic attunement to the felt-sense and meaning of the client’s experiencing.

Key themes:

• Why do individuals self-harm?
• Physiology and self harm
• Hidden and overt self harm
• Risk assessment.
• Developing a therapeutic relationship
• Practitioner self care
