Trauma and the Body - Advanced (Part Two)

Workshop with Norma Howes and Deborah Robinson

North Wales Border – Glyndwr University, Wrexham

6th  March 2010

This workshop is offered to practitioners who have some level of understanding of ‘Body Work’ and how trauma impacts the body.

This day event is not only for people who have attended ‘Trauma and the Body Part One’ (although we would highly recommend you come to both if possible).

‘Trauma and the Body - Advanced' is very much about putting theory into practise and blending ‘Body Work’ into ‘Talking Therapy’ and the ways we work as counsellors, therapists, care professionals and pastoral workers at present.

The workshop will begin with an hour’s overview of   ‘Trauma and the Body Part One’ and will include further insight, research and information including the neurobiology of the brain in relationship to the body.

This day event will further develop theory in relation to therapeutic practise and will include ideas and suggestions for empathic, informed and understanding responses, creative interventions, engagement strategies and strategies for change for the client.

Both day events will offer challenge, perception, insight and awareness for participants from all backgrounds.

These workshops are suitable for counsellors, therapists, mental health professionals, nurses, physicians, teachers, mentors, youth workers, police, ambulance and emergency workers, correctional staff, school support staff, clergy and community volunteers.

Norma Howes is a Social Worker, Child Forensic Psychologist and Sensorimotor Psychotherapist.  Norma is involved in training police, social workers, health and education staff on all aspects of childhood trauma and abuse.   She has a private practice working with adults and children most of whom have experienced severe childhood trauma.  She has worked in the field of trauma, mental health and dissociation for more than twenty years and has researched the impact of dissociation on memory and the implications this has for both civil and criminal court proceedings.

Norma was also a member of a Child Trauma Team one day a week for twelve years where she was involved in both assessment and therapeutic services for children who had experienced Type 1 and Type 2 trauma.   She has a special interest in the impact of trauma, abuse and dissociation on attachment and consequent behaviours following child abuse and domestic violence.

Deborah Robinson, MSW, BSc, DipSW - Deborah Robinson has been a residential worker and social worker for 10 years.  Deborah was a Social Work manager in a secure adolescent psychiatric hospital for 4 years and spent 2 years in a CAMHS Team.  She now works in a community based multi-discipline team focussed on early intervention and prevention.  A major part of her role is providing consultation and training on the impact of trauma on children's development.  Deborah is a keen advocate for the reframing of behaviour as the solution, not the problem.

Like Norma, Deborah has completed the Sensorimotor Psychotherapy (Trauma) and EMDR training.
