Personal blind spots (where we may have underlying issues or attitudes)
Gail Lowe- Principal; This is a course I would love to have taken twenty years ago when I first started as a therapist, even when I was nursing, no one prepared me or helped me to understand the relationship between myself and my clients. I fell into every trap that Andy will cover in this workshop and took many years to understand the hard way, the pitfalls of the therapeutic relationship. I cannot recommend this workshop enough and will be attending it myself as I believe you can never review your performance and relationships often enough.
