Join Amy Payne, a psychologist and Therapeutic Life Story Work (TLSW) practitioner, supervisor and trainer, for a live classroom on adult TLSW.
Tickets: free for members, £50 for non-members.
Tailored for professionals working with adults and parents, this session delves into the adapted TLSW for Adults model.
You will learn, share and practice how to support clients in their healing from trauma and attachment injuries through creative, playful methods and the development of an adult life story book.
This transformative session equips attendees with tools and techniques to help clients make sense of their life stories, fostering self-awareness and emotional healing.
Bring paper, materials to make marks on the paper with and your own stories held in your mind and body. While no specific preparation is required, familiarity with basic therapeutic concepts of TLSW will enhance your learning experience.
