About this course:

Based on contemporary trauma theory, Lighthouse Keeping is a way of reframing the reality of being a parent in the rejected position away from helplessness to an active and positive mindset.

Beginning with an understanding of trauma and its impact, this course is designed to jump-start the move, from reaction to the trauma of being rejected, to responding to the needs of the alienated child.

Led by Karen Woodall, this group will compliment the work undertaken in Holding up a Healthy Mirror or Higher Level Understanding Courses by offering grounded techniques for mentalising and responding to the trauma of being the parent in the rejected position. This course will be useful to you if you feel helpless, are suffering from symptoms of anxiety, are just entering the process of being a parent in the rejected position, or are supporting someone in this situation.
