Join Ros Townsend [https://www.humangivens.com/person/rosalind-townsend/] live
online on Tuesday 8th October 2024 for this important CPD course, designed
specifically for mental health professionals interested in the human givens
approach.  BONUS â you will get a recording for 2 weeks afterwards to maximise
your learning.
There are many occasions when a client presents with an excessive emotional
response and it is not immediately apparent why this is happening. Perhaps they
know that they are âover-reactingâ in some way â getting very angry, very
fearful â or are experiencing a driven urge to take a particular action â such
as eating or having sex.
This live online course will help you gain confidence in working safely and
ethically with affect bridges to discover if an unhelpful pattern, in the form
of a molar memory or sub-threshold trauma is at the root of their experience,
allowing you to then determine collaboratively with your client the best ways of
addressing that. During the course, there will be plenty of opportunity to ask
questions of the tutor, and to engage in exercises and discussions with your
peers and colleagues.
WHY TAKE THIS COURSE
Whether you are a new HG therapist wanting to develop a clear understanding of
how to utilise an affect bridge to determine if a molar memory or sub-threshold
trauma is present, and to better understand the protocols for working with
these, or whether you are an experienced HG practitioner looking to refresh your
knowledge and delve deeper into understanding this valuable skillset, this
course will help you gain the skills and understanding you need to do so safely
and effectively.
In an early article regarding molar memories, Joe Griffin termed them âan
ancient mechanism that is ruining livesâ; and the impact of such driven urges on
the lives of our clients cannot be underestimated. Molar memories can, on first
encountering the theory, seem complicated and unfathomable, but this course will
set them â and sub-threshold traumas and the use of the affect bridge to access
both â within a clear framework of understanding, linking back to the way in
which our brain perceives things (referencing the APET model) and to RIGAAR (how
we structure a good therapy session).
During the course, numerous case studies will be shared and used as the basis
for exercises, and there will be ample opportunity to link the learning to your
own experiences in the therapy room.
You will gain a clear understanding of: how to follow the treatment protocols
for working with molar memories and sub-threshold traumas â adapting these, of
course, to each clientâs unique model of reality; how to safely and ethically
utilise an affect bridge; and how to avoid the danger of creating any false
memories.
