Description

Using the Jungian-based Process Oriented Psychology (POP) approach helps your clients access the full range of their emotions, memories, parts, psyche, and inner life… Bring them into the therapy room, process influential early childhood traumatic experiences… And transform unhelpful behaviour patterns and triggers into strengths that help them thrive.

However, it’s essential you know how to use these sometimes-fragile elements of a person in a way that does NOT re-traumatize them.

Now, in this insightful live training, you’ll discover step by step, experiential approaches to know exactly how to help clients understand their inner world so that they can know all parts of themselves to become safer, unburdened, and find post-traumatic growth.
