About this workshop

Womb Life: Wonders and Challenges of Pregnancy, the Foetus' Journey and Birth

Join us for an exciting talk talk with psychotherapist Dr Graham Music, who will explore what we need to know about the experiences of both being pregnant and being a foetus and why they are so vitally important for every single one of us.

Graham will explore the latest scientific findings on pregnancy and the incredible life of the foetus, and consider how does life before birth shape later development. We will see how mother and baby can bond whilst sharing one body, and how a tiny foetus actively learns from the environment it is inhabiting. We will see how pregnancy, and even parent's lives before conception, sculpt a baby's lifelong health, for example via the mother's ancestral inheritances, diet, stress levels, and emotional state. The book and talk will link together therapeutic insights, real-life stories and new science to show how life in the womb can enhance a child's potential, and how it is essential for providing the best possible start for babies, long before their birth

FAQs

I can't attend live, can I watch the recordings after the live broadcast instead?

Due to the interactive nature of this workshop, and particularly that it will contain a lot of group work, we feel you'd be missing too much of its value if you cannot participate live. So all delegates will need to attend live. Any delegates that have signed up but don't attend will not receive a CPD certificate.

Please get in touch at hello@compassionatemind.co.uk if you can now longer attend this workshop and need to change your booking.

My employer will be paying for this course. Can you arrange for an invoice?

Yes, towards the bottom of the page under the 'prices' section you will find a link to download a booking form for this workshop. Please fill this in and email to finance@compassionatemind.co.uk

Do I need any prior knowledge of CFT?

This workshop does cover some of the basics of the CFT model so this has been advertised as a beginner level workshop, however we do recommend some prior training or experience of CFT as the trainers will not have time to address this in depth.

When will I receive the login details?

All delegates signed up to the workshop will recieve joining links and instructions when they sign up for the event via Eventbrite. Any additional handouts will be sent to you as soon as they are recieved from the speaker. If you do not recieve a welcome email when you book, or have other queries, please email hello@compassionatemind.co.uk.

Is this course suitable for someone new to CFT?

Yes, this course is suitable for those who are new to CFT, although some knowledge of the basics may be helpful.

Can I attend the Clinical Skills without having completed an Introduction to CFT?

This workshop is aimed at those who have a good grounding in the foundations of Compassion Focused Therapy, so we do require that you have completed an Introductory workshop beforehand (please check the topics covered in the Introduction to CFT workshop on our Training Pathway). We generally recommend leaving at least six months between completing an Introductory workshop and attending the Clinical Skills workshop in order to give yourself time to practise with your clients, as this workshop will be aimed to helping you to build on your skills.

Introductory workshops held by other organisations will be accepted, so long as they are at least two days in length, include the topics covered in our Introduction to CFT course, and are led by a recognised CFT trainer. For any queries about this, please email hello@compassionatemind.co.uk

Would I get a certificate for this personal practice workshop

Yes we will email certificates of attendance to all attendees, however as this is for personal practice and not for continuing professional development, the certificate will not include any CPD.

Will this workshop be recorded?

Yes, this workshop will be recorded on zoom. Once the workshop has finished all delegates will receive a follow-up email with the links to view these along with any extra resources. These will be available to view for around 3 months post-event. The recordings are edited, so will be made available roughly a week after the workshop has finished.
