| Extra Info | : | Breaks in Therapy: Understanding the Dynamics, Losses, and Opportunities within the Therapeutic Relationship Session One – “The spaces in between: from separation anxiety to security” Linda Cundy Session Two – “Breaks in online ‘remote’ therapy: Avoidance, intimacy, and loss” Charles Brown Session Three – “Breaks and the Repetition of Trauma: A Hidden Aspect of Boarding School Syndrome” Professor Joy Schaverien In this seminar with our three expert speakers, we will explore the meaning of breaks in our therapeutic work, and the spectrum of reactions we might receive in response to a pending break in therapy. We will consider safety and security issues, the experience of those for whom trauma by separation is central to their narrative, profound experiences of loss in the absence of the therapist and creative opportunities for self-development while the therapist is away. We will also notice the subtleties of different types of breaks: the space between sessions, the therapist’s holiday, ill health of the therapist, breaks due to pregnancy, sudden and unplanned breaks, as well as noticing the difference between in-person and online work. There will be ample time for questions and discussion, and for us to also examine how breaks in therapy affect the therapist too. |
