Hi,

I am wondering if anyone is aware of conferences, groups, workshops, or any other brief therapy that might augment healing? I am wanting to heal dissociated aspects of me and am willing to do just about anything to get farther with this. I experienced early childhood attachment injury and sexual, emotional and spiritual abuse.
I live in Ontario, but could travel to attend.

Thanks

IHTS

Thanks for this information Magpie.

I hadn't heard of it before, its good to know about. I wish a workshop or seminar would cure me but I don't know if I could tolerate a severe 8 day approach like this. Sounds like they screen people....my dissociation might make me a poor candidate. I have to wonder if it would completely push me over the edge?

Would you consider doing it if you had the funds?

This is a time to explore and look around, so I appreciate your reply.

IHTS.
Hi IHTS

Yes, I believe they do screen folks for this course but they may be able to suggest alternatives if this particular course doesn't suit you. And I agree, it also looks er...a rather robust approach.

My T suggested it to me as a possible addition/kickstart to dealing with some anger issues of mine. However, I'm not so sure though that I'd be any good, trapped in a group environment, for 8 whole days. I'm a born skeptic still coming to terms with my prejudices about the idea of being in therapy in the first place and it seems a bit 'New-Age-ish' to me. The full-on approach would likely press all my stubbornness buttons quite apart from making me feel REALLY vulnerable. So I'm not mentally prepared to go there yet. No offence meant to anyone who has tried this sort of thing before and got something out of it. Probably it's just plain fear on my part. Perhaps if I met some folks who have tried it I could be persuaded. For now though, the financial aspect is a useful, but genuine, excuse.

I hope you can find something that can help you.

Magpie
