Retreat Synopsis

Self-care is essential for any therapist, this has never been more true than over the past 3 years. Knowing ones own schemas and modes is also an integral part of schema therapy; it can not only make us better, more self-aware and authentic therapists but it can also lead to less difficulties in our own life and increased life satisfaction.

This two day retreat is based largely on Joan Farrell and Ida Shaw’s Schema Therapy From the Inside Out: Self-reflection and Self-Practice work. Together, Chris and participants will create a safe, supportive environment so participants can improve their own schema and mode awareness and self-care Chris will share his own experiences, schemas and modes and insights into self-care, in addition to using a number of Schema Therapy techniques, which will lead to participants own knowledge of the techniques for use with clients, in addition to an increase ability to meet one’s own needs.

There will also be an option casual dinner for participants to unwind on Monday 7th August (cost not included in the registration).
