What is this workshop about?

Emotional abuse can be as equally damaging for clients as some of the more overt forms of abuse such as physical and sexual abuse; the difference between these forms of abuse is that there are no recognisable external scars from emotional abuse. Understanding the complexities of emotional abuse and gaining clarity by defining emotional abuse accurately is imperative for effective practice. In this one day workshop participants will explore the effects of emotional abuse and discuss how to work effectively in therapeutic intervention by identifying and using skills essential for practice.

This workshop will provide the participants with the opportunity to develop knowledge in:

• Uncovering emotional abuse
• Definition/s of Emotional Abuse and gaining clarity for effective intervention
• Dealing with Transference, Countertransference and Couple Transference issues
• Working effectively with clients to address emotional abuse
