Having a baby can be a time of great joy, but also potentially a time of mixed emotions and difficult experiences. Changes occur within our body, brain, and of course in our lives too. These can be helpful and wonderful but can also make us feel unsteady, sometimes deeply so. The mind we, and others relate to us with, at this time can be particularly important and powerful, both in terms of ourselves as parents, but also for our baby too.
This workshop will look at the complexity of changes that occur when we become pregnant and have a baby and the particular impact of developing our compassionate mind during this important time.
It will give practical experience of how we develop the compassionate mind during the perinatal period with particular reference to some of the most common and challenging experiences. Knowledge of the basics of Compassion Focused Therapy would be useful.
Following this workshop participants are entitled to apply to join the compassion discussion list which is an international list for individuals who are committed to compassion focused therapy. It is not a general list of compassion interests.
Learning Objectives
To come away with some knowledge of:
1. The evolved motivations connecting the parent and child.
2. The changes that occur during the process of pregnancy and parenting
3. Working from a CFT perspective with some of the challenges people may experience in the perinatal period.
4. Practices that can help both the practitioner and their client manage what can be deeply challenging work.
