This workshop is suitable for mental health professionals that support clients with childhood and complex trauma histories. Through engaging case studies and clinical demonstrations, participants will learn how early memories can offer vital insights into a client’s emotional world and facilitate deeper healing. The workshop will also address the challenge of avoidance that naturally arises during memory recall, offering practical strategies for recognising, understanding, and working through resistance in the therapeutic process. Combining theory with thought-provoking examples, the session provides clinicians with tools to apply memory work safely and effectively across a range of presentations. Participants will leave with a clearer understanding of how to use childhood memories to enrich trauma therapy and promote lasting change. Suitable for counsellors, psychotherapists, and mental health professionals seeking to enhance their trauma-informed practice.
