- Counselling and psychotherapy

About
More than one in ten women will develop mental health difficulties in pregnancy or the year after birth. These problems can cause intense suffering for women and their families.
They can also have an adverse impact on the interaction between a mother and her baby, affecting the child's emotional, social and cognitive development.
For women who have suffered complex developmental trauma the transition to motherhood can be a particularly challenging and vulnerable time. Pregnancy or parenthood may trigger painful memories, precipitate strong emotions which are hard to manage, reduce access to usual ways of coping and make relationships, particularly with babies difficult to navigate.
This seminar will introduce delegates to:
1) formulating perinatal presentations via mode mapping
2) the value of integrating some of the core ST change techniques into time limited work: chair work, imagery work, limited reparenting and empathic confrontation.
