This event is intended to be of benefit to those who come into contact with or are likely to come into contact with adult/young adult survivors of Adverse Childhood Experiences or other sources of trauma in the course of their work and who wish to gain an insight into Dissociative Identity Disorder, PTSD and the overall effects of trauma.

The presentation and workshop are based on both factual research and lived experiences delivered from a survivor's perspective. Nonetheless, the experiences, symptoms and behaviours discussed are common in survivors of numerous life events experienced at any age.

The aim of the morning presentation, "Understanding Dissociation & Trauma" is to provide awareness of the types of trauma related conditions known to exist with a view to attendees developing a understanding of the subject but which will equip them to identify behaviours and symptoms associated with trauma. This is followed by a Q&A/open discussion session.

After lunch we have an interactive workshop, "Handling Those In Distress", with its focus is on handling distressed, potentially dissociative individuals where participants will share their knowledge and experience discussing concepts of what can be helpful or unhelpful, "perceptions" of behaviour, consider relevant aspects of Neuro Linguistic Programming and attachment disorders as well as some techniques to help find the "core self" and grounding. Participants are invited to fully participate in these discussions and activities.

What to expect:

Authentic, personal account of dissociative experiences and trauma related behaviours
Consideration of the needs of survivors, social failings and the way forward
Opportunity to ask questions relating to the presentation
Presentation “Understanding Dissociation & Trauma”
Workshop with activities.
Materials and certificate of attendance included
All day refreshments and lunch included

I would fully recommend this course to anyone who is thinking about doing it. It was enjoyable and easy to understand, the information all flowed together nicely meaning it was easy to follow. The session was confidential and I felt comfortable to share experiences and idea. It has refreshed my knowledge and also given me new ways to work with out young people.

I found the specifics around dissociation and the real life examples that Julie Anne went through very interesting. In particular she made all of the information very accessible and as such I would recommend her training for any of my students to engage with. I usually find that people focus on anxeity in relation to trauma but Julie Anne linked it all together very nicely.

It was a good reminder of actually how common dissociation is, and how it impacts the individual. It is useful to be mindful of this especially when taking referrals which entails a lot of intrusive questioning. Many individuals we work with (domestic abuse) have experienced trauma, their account of the abuse could be sparse / inconsistent, as the trauma and episodes of dissociation affect the quality and accuracy of their memories of the events. This needs to be taken into account and adjustments made to ensure greater empathy and a more 'trauma informed' service.

I found it interesting learning how the brain can react to traumas, this knowledge will help me feel what could be going on for clients, to gain empathy and understanding.
