Transgenerational Transmissions of Trauma
Transgenerational Transmissions of Trauma: Repetitions and Ruptures in our Lives and in the World. With Sue Grand, Jill Salberg & Zack Eleftheriadou (Chair). Over the past few decades psychoanalysis has steadily been theorizing about trauma transmissions affecting multiple generations. These traumas are individual, familial, cultural and political. Unmourned and unknown, these histories remain open wounds passing from one generation to the next in search of recognition and repair. Until they are mourned and repaired, they will continue to occupy every generation in problematic ways. In families, transmissions are absorbed by young children through their early attachment relationships, while racial, sexual/gender, class and historical pain is inflicted on our psyches, our interpersonal relationships, and it is powerfully re-enacted in our politics. This unconscious history can transmit resilience, resourcefulness, and care for the other. But all too often, the here-and-now is inscribed with darker transmissions: hopelessness, terror, despair, hostility towards the Other. In this seminar series, we will examine clinical processes through the lens of history, social critique, psychoanalytic theory, and attachment theory. As clinicians and as citizens, living in a time of chaos and uncertainty, we understand that the violence of trauma fractures our experience of being in the world; it ruptures human bonds and damages the fabric of attachment. Repairing history means knowing, and mourning, our unknown histories, and the histories of others. This seminar series will run for four weeks on Fridays in May, 2025. We have designed the sessions so that there is plenty of time for questions during the session as well as to process and apply what is being taught to your ongoing clinical work each week between sessions.

Dealing with Conflict - The psychological insights and skills you need
Conflict isn’t always destructive. Properly handled it can be creative and productive, leading to better outcomes and possibilities for all. Although conflict is a normal, ever-present possibility in our lives – between family, friends, colleagues, neighbours, and in our interactions with organisations – when it becomes entrenched it can cause immense individual distress, and waste time and money. Addressing interpersonal conflict using the psychological insights, concepts and proven techniques you will learn on the day, helps us to solve problems creatively and improve the health and wellbeing of those involved. To lead a healthy life we don’t need to avoid all conflict, but we do need to know how to approach it in ways which can help everyone involved meet their emotional needs, a win/win for all. Learning the human givens approach to conflict resolution helps to reduce the potential damaging consequences of destructive conflict and embrace the benefits of constructive conflict. Throughout the day, Rupinder will draw on her own considerable practical experience of successful conflict resolution and mediation in a wide range of settings as she provides expert guidance and training in the psychological insights and skills you need to be able to constructively resolve conflict between individuals and/or groups.Date: 2025-05-12

Overcoming Self-harm
Emily Gajewski has decades of hands-on experience helping children and adults successfully overcome or significantly reduce their self-harming behaviour. Her insightful training day demystifies the self-harming cycle, clarifies its causes and shows why we should not give up on anyone, even in the most apparently hopeless situations. You will gain a wealth of new information, proven techniques and useful tips which combined will ensure you give sufferers the best chance of recovering their mental health and moving on in their lives – you will also hear from people who have been able to completely stop self-harming (or dramatically reduced it) and are now living fulfilled lives as a result of this approach. If you would like to make sense of all the fragments of information you have about self-harming and pull them all together into a cohesive and effective treatment strategy, this workshop is for you.Date: 2025-05-14

Affairs, Desire, and the Unconscious
Affairs, Desire, and the Unconscious: A Psychoanalytic Exploration. With Alain de Botton, Juliet Rosenfeld & Susanna Abse. We welcome you to join us on Zoom, for this enagaging event offering psychotherapists an opportunity to explore the unconscious dimensions of infidelity through a psychoanalytic reading of Juliet Rosenfeld’s Affairs, alongside reflections from Alain de Botton and Susanna Abse. The session will examine the ways in which transgression, repetition compulsion, unconscious phantasy, and the oedipal drama shape the experience of affairs in both the individual and the couple. Drawing on Rosenfeld's book Affairs, we will consider infidelity as an enactment of unconscious conflict, a working-through of loss, and a resistance to mourning. De Botton’s philosophical reflections will provide a backdrop for thinking about how idealisation and disillusionment structure desire, while Abse’s clinical insights working with couples will guide discussion on the analyst’s position in relation to unconscious phantasy, secrecy, and the analytic frame. Participants will engage in a discussion of psychoanalytic themes, case discussions, and reflective dialogue from our speakers on countertransference responses when working with clients entangled in affairs. Through this, we will deepen our understanding of how infidelity expresses unresolved internal conflicts and the defensive structures that sustain them. This event is suitable for psychotherapists seeking make sense of and support their clinical approach to working with desire, betrayal, and the unconscious forces shaping intimate relationships.

How to tell stories that heal – master the art of therapeutic storytelling
Stories can be incredibly powerful therapeutic tools. They help bypass rigid views about life, enhancing the listener’s flexibility of thought. And by suspending ordinary constraints, they help people reclaim optimism whilst fueling their imaginations with the energy necessary to attain goals. In the physically ill, they can also stimulate the immune system and speed recovery. All successful psychotherapy and counselling involves storytelling and the use of pertinent metaphors, both of which tap into the natural way our brains work.

Countertransference in Psychoanalytic Work with Couples and Families
Friday, June 6, 2025 - Saturday, June 7, 2025. 2:00 pm - 6:30 pm (UK). With Katherine Astill, Andrew Balfour, Cristina Călărășanu, Ludovica Grassi, Nestor Kapusta, Tao Lin, Daniela Lucarelli, Hanni Mann-Shalvi, Mary Morgan, Anna Maria Nicolò, Tatiana Onikova , Elizabeth Palacios, Jim Poulton , Karen Proner, David Scharff, Jill Scharff, Amita Sehgal, Lea de Setton, Anastasia Tsamparli & Monica Vorchheimer. This two-afternoons conference offers a deep exploration into the therapist's countertransference as a vital tool for understanding and working with the unconscious dynamics of couples and families. The unique focus lies in addressing how social, cultural, and political contexts shape and influence the couple and the therapeutic process. In this century, powerful events such as wars, political upheavals, and economic crises are unfolding around the world, directly impacting international and national realms, as well as the family, marital, and personal domains. These crises penetrate and provoke turmoil in the familial, relational, and personal spheres, instilling chaos in conscious and unconscious structures. Furthermore, as a result, one of the symbolic “walls of the clinic” that establishes a safe place for our patients is crumbling. External realities invade not only the personal, couple and family dynamics but also the analyst, and the therapeutic space. The programme includes leading psychoanalytic thinkers and clinicians presenting from around the globe and will be chaired by Andrew Balfour, CEO of Tavistock Relationships and Hanni Mann-Shalvi, Chair of the Anglo Scientific Committee of the IACFP. Each day will begin with keynote talks from Jill Scharff & David Scharff, Mary Morgan and Ana Maria Nicolò. As well as two panel sessions with speakers offering short twenty minute talks each. There will be time for discussion and reflection. Please contact events@trtogether.com to enquire about reduced rates for international participants. We are keen to offer fees that make this event accessible to as many as possible. This conference is held in partnership with Tavistock Relationships (TR) and the International Association of Couple and Family Psychoanalysis (IACFP).

How to lift depression – the practical skills you need
Until recently depression was little understood but key new insights into its causes and symptoms have made treatment easier and more consistently effective. On this day you will learn how combining these insights with a wide range of different psychological techniques enables the majority of cases to be lifted surprisingly quickly … even severe ones. Although antidepressants can play a role in reducing symptoms, they can also be dangerous and prove hard to withdraw from – research shows that appropriate counselling is more effective at lifting even the most severe depression, with a much lower rate of relapse. The approach you will learn on this workshop is in this category and is proving very effective – 10,000s of people have already been successfully helped with the knowledge and skills you will learn on the day.

Couples Therapy: Neurodiversity and relationships
Why take this course Neurodiversity has been given significant media attention recently, which is all hugely positive. As a result though, more people are seeking out information and answers for their questions and personal experiences. As part of that process, they may well seek some counselling or therapy. It’s important then that, as therapists or counsellors, our knowledge, skillset, language and stories stay as up-to-date and relevant as possible to best serve our clients. In this session, we take time to clarify what’s most helpful and identify practical steps that can help. Enjoy 10% OFF with discount code TOWN10Date: 2025-06-10

Working with Fragmented and Chaotic States
Adjunctive Techniques for Psychotherapists. With Ruthie Smith, Phil Mollon & Alice Jacobs Waterfall (Facilitator). Clients prone to fragmentation and chaotic states can be extremely challenging to work with. Those who suffered early or developmental trauma and ruptures in relationships may struggle with damaged and scrambled communications. As therapists we work with various chaotic presentations including projection, fragmented ego states, disconnection, dissociation and at the more extreme end, alters, fugue states, depersonalisation, and the blurring of boundaries between fantasy and reality. Trauma also distorts time and memory, and clients may struggle with ‘knowing’ or ‘not knowing’ what has happened to them. Further challenges arise if clients have a pattern of disorganised attachment which may lock the work in unhelpful dynamics, such as unconscious retaliatory defences, the ‘drama triangle’, coercion and punitive control. It is precisely in such situations that energy psychotherapy techniques offer an invaluable adjunct. We move beyond the tools of transference and counter transference, working instead to help the client release the traumatic stress/ PTSD via their bodies, minds and subtle energy systems. These methods, self-applied by the client, are woven within the therapeutic dialogue and they contain, regulate, and alleviate the client’s distress so they can experience a sense of safety, calm and balance. Using these simple methods strengthens the fragmented ego, reaches beneath the deeper defensive layers, and helps to integrate parts, so that clients learn to regulate their extreme moods and in so doing, develop a more coherent narrative of self. By releasing the blocked energy of traumatised states, the client is able to ‘reverse’ their self-sabotaging behaviour, so that more mutual, reciprocal forms of relationship can emerge. Energy psychotherapy reveals complexities and subtleties of factors maintaining psychopathology that cannot easily be accessed and identified within conventional listening and talking psychotherapies. Moreover, a psychoanalytic psychotherapy that is congruent with modern understandings of how trauma smashes the container-contained function, causing an explosion of psychic ‘beta elements’, will benefit from the incorporation of adjunctive trauma-focused modalities.

A Self-Care Weekend for Therapists
Saturday, August 16, 2025 - Sunday, August 17, 2025. 10:00 am - 4:00 pm (UK). Energy psychotherapy to self-regulate and minimise stress, burnout and vicarious trauma. With Paul Croal & Ruthie Smith. This in person restorative weekend introduces you to the invaluable resource that energy psychotherapy offers, working with the mind, the heart, and physical/bodily systems and our inherent self-healing capacities. This reflective space allows you to consider your choices and steps towards personal well-being, and explore, identify and treat any inhibitory blockages. Together, we will develop some personalised, effective self-care practices to address dysregulation and introduce you to some stress-relieving practices. Clients frequently present with overwhelming external and internal conflicts; our bodies and nervous systems register this through mirror neurons and co-regulation. When working with transference and countertransference, we can become impacted, feeling drained and depleted—‘tired and wired’—by the challenges of complex and depth work. Online working brings additional stressors, which can cumulatively diminish vitality and creativity. When we become exhausted and suffer brain fog and somatic discomfort, this alerts us to the need for self-care. When the life force, Freud’s libido is ‘in flow’, we feel healthy and balanced, which brings ease and grace to the work. We gain resilience and grounding through regenerative self-care, bringing clarity and better boundaries to our clients’ material. Ruthie Smith and Paul Croal bring a wealth of experience and expertise to this restorative weekend, offering deep insight into the extraordinary power of energy psychotherapy. Ruthie, an attachment-based psychoanalytic psychotherapist, specialises in trauma work and integrates subtle energy practices into her therapeutic approach. Paul, an integrative transpersonal therapist, blends creative modalities such as dreamwork and imagery with energy psychotherapy. Together, they provide a compassionate, reflective space for participants to self-care and address the challenges of clinical work. Their combined knowledge ensures a rich, supportive environment for some personal exploration and healing. For full event, pricing and CPD credit details see https://trtogether.com.
