Working with Trauma Masterclass, May and July 2025
The Gestalt Centre
Camden
£300.
Course Overview:
Over time, emotions and unresolved traumatic experiences can have significant physical effects on the body. Gestalt can help us work through physical and emotional blocks, resolve past issues and increase awareness of the present. It often feels insightful and empowering. It can significantly increase self-confidence, awareness and emotional resilience.
In this weekend course, we use the Gestalt approach, along with neuroscience, and combine sound theoretical input with experiential learning and skills practice.
We explore trauma and how to facilitate recovery by tracking the healing journey along the Gestalt Cycle as a potential map for locating what a particular client might need as a next step in their recovery.
Course participants might work with their own experience or bring cases from their work, to explore the practical application of the approach.
Who is the course for?
This weekend is for anyone working in a therapeutic capacity with individuals who suffer from the after-effects of trauma.
At the Gestalt Centre we value equity and inclusion and welcome diversity and difference in all backgrounds, identities, cultures and voices. It is integral to who we are and how we work. If you have any accessibility requirements for this course, please let us know how we might be able to meet them.
