SUMMARY:Psychotherapy and Counselling Union (PCU); Therapists supporting therapists
DESCRIPTION:CaPPP Online event\n\n\nComplaints: Therapists supporting Therapists \nA question and answer session and discussion on complaints and the member support work of the PCU after a brief introduction. With Sasha Kaplin\, PCU Member Support Coordinator\, and Ruth Jones\, Regional Rep for South West and Wales Branch. \nWe are delighted to be hosting this online introduction to the work of the PCU. \nIn complaints procedures bodies like UKCP and BACP are both prosecutors and judges; they are therefore unable to act as defenders and supporters for practitioners being complained about. Also\, in their wish to stay on the right side of government\, trainers and providers\, they often do not speak out clearly in support of therapy and therapists. The union has one clear function\, to stand up for therapists and therapy. Through its activism the PCU has developed relationships with the professional bodies who now recognise them as entitled to support members in complaints processes. Bring your questions and experiences to the session. \nAbout PCU \nThere are many issues where therapists need to act as a group to improve our situation. Several of these are about training\, including discrimination and lack of diversity\, and unpaid work as a built-in aspect of qualifying. Others include the substitution of manualised short-term and ‘wellbeing’ approaches for relationship-based therapies; terms and conditions of employment\, especially in the voluntary sector; complaints procedures; closure of courses and agencies; and the use of therapy to get people off benefits. More generally\, the PCU campaign collectively for recognition of the role of therapy in society. \nffi: https://www.psychotherapyandcounsellingunion.co.uk/ \nBookings: We ask that you only book a place if you are able to commit to attending the event.

SUMMARY:The World of Play – Essential Nature\, Healing Gift & Lifelong Companion
DESCRIPTION:CaPPP CPD event  Saturday 17th February 2024\n\n\n‘It is in playing and only in playing that the individual child or adult is able to be creative and to use the whole personality\, and it is only in being creative that the individual discovers the self’. \nD.W. Winnicott ‘Playing & Reality’\, 1971\, \nThe play theorist Brian Sutton Smith asks\, what is the opposite of play? Many of us would answer\, work. Smith says it is depression. Since beginning my exploration into the illusive nature of play over the past four decades\, I have discovered its far-reaching benefits not only to human development from birth throughout the life cycle\, but also to its intrinsic qualities that lend themselves so generously to healing trauma. \nIn this workshop we will explore the essential qualities of play through our own experiential work and underpin our findings with theories on play. Drawing on our own experiences of play\, we will identify the different stages of play found in the developmental play paradigm that is just as relevant to adults as it is to children. \nWe will look at play as the wellspring of all other creative endeavours. \nWe will also explore direct practical exercises that participants may take into their own therapeutic practices. \nEvery aspect of the day will be by invitation to participants\, thereby demonstrating one of the fundamental qualities of free play – that it can only be entered into willingly by choice. I will offer a range of activities and provide the materials for these which will include fabrics\, objects and art materials. \nWe will have opportunity to work as a whole group\, in smaller groups\, in pairs and individually. I would also encourage participants to bring their own notebooks as time will be given for personal reflection as well as for recording the activities themselves. \nI will be drawing on material from my own book Playful Awakening – Releasing the Gift of Play in Your Life and I will bring copies for participants to purchase if they so wish. \nI hope the day will be enlightening\, helpful\, heart-warming and fun for all. \nFacilitator Profile: \nDi is a play therapist\, Buddhist psychotherapist\, clinical supervisor and was a dramatherapist for over thirty years. She has worked in the NHS\, NSPCC\, and has been a freelance practitioner for over three decades. She has taught at Terapia Child & Adolescent Psychotherapy training in London for fifteen years on the subjects of play therapy\, dramatherapist and working with child sexual abuse. She holds MAs in Buddhist Psychotherapy and Creative Writing and has written non-fiction and fiction for many years. Her book\, ‘Playful Awakening – Releasing the Gift of Play in Your Life’ (2017\, JKP) explores her lifelong passion for play in all areas of human endeavour and in the field of healing in particular. Her co-edited book\, ‘One Tree\, Many Branches – The Practice of Integrative Child and Adolescent Psychotherapy’ (2024\, Phoenix) illustrates the diversity and skill of Terapia-trained psychotherapists. She has recently published her first novel\, ‘Red Threads’\, a story about forced adoption and the lasting psychological effect this has on the adoptee and the birth mother. \nPrice: CaPPP Members Early Bird £65.00\, CaPPP Members £70\, Non-members £75.00 \nSpaces are limited to 25 and must be booked in advance by Wednesday 14th February \nRegistration & refreshments: 9.30 to 10.00 refreshments will be available throughout the day and are included in the price. \nLunch: Bring your own lunch or take advantage of one of the many cafes in the area. \nVenue: Quaker Meeting House\, 300 Gloucester Road\, Horfield\, Bristol BS87 8PD
