Nearly a quarter of young adults (24.1%) experienced sexual abuse (including contact and non-contact) by an adult or peer during childhood (NSPCC 2011). Our society often doesn’t acknowledge this and survivors can often be left without support, which can lead to anxiety, depression and low self-esteem.
This seminar will provide a foundation in understanding the core issues around sexual abuse and how we can effectively support those who have suffered abuse.

Compulsive sexual behaviour disorder? Sex addiction? Porn addiction?
No matter what our clients call it, it’s presenting more frequently in our therapy rooms and is causing a significant problem for an ever-increasing number of people, so we are likely to continue to see an increasing number of clients presenting with out-of-control sexual behaviour causing them significant difficulties in their lives and emotional and mental distress.

This is a training workshop designed especially for counsellors and therapists who would like to deepen their understanding and application of Polyvagal Theory within the therapeutic relationship. In relation to the automatic nervous system polyvagal theory outlines 3 hierarchical subsystems which evolved to respond adaptively to environmental (including relational) features of safety, danger and life threat (Porges 2011).
