Interested in building or deepening your clinical skills in Coherence Therapy?

This 2 day introduction will promote a both understanding and skills building. Associate Instructor from the Coherence Psychology Institute, Simon d'Orsogna will provide presentations, live demonstrations and direct coaching to attendees. Click the 'Attend Event' button to read the full details of this peer-oriented workshop (clicking will not automatically book the ticket).

In line with the central philosophy of Coherence Therapy, emphasis will be on direct experiential learning.  The days are will be interwoven with live sessions and presentations.This approach is very compatible with EMDR, Schema Therapy, Internal Family Systems, Body-oriented and Somatic Psychotherapies, Seigel's IPNB, Somatic Experiencing, Focusing, EFT, Gestalt and other focused experiential approaches. Participants will learn practical techniques informed by recent neuroscience learnings about recognising the steps and fostering the processes of memory reconsolidation to erase persisting memories, beliefs and affect.

Coherence Therapy is the signature work of Bruce Ecker, Laurel Hulley and Robin Ticic. For more information on Coherence Therapy, see CoherenceInstitute.org, with a variety of resources and further training options.

 Note - there is also a two day training in Canberra in early October 2017 - more info and ticketing here

Workshop Approach

 This two day workshop will include live demonstrations and a summary review of the memory reconsolidation process, as well as experiential exploration of how to create the powerful exercises that make Coherence Therapy so effective.  Input from the group is invited to sharpen the crucial skills of creating vivid and powerful Symptom Deprivations, Overt Statements, Sentence Completions and more.  This will be augmented throughout the workshop by didactic presentations, Q&A, and processing of participants’ experiences.

Who is this for?

Participation is for therapists and counsellors, mental health clinicians, certified coaches, or students in accredited graduate training programs. Practitioners working experientially and wholistically will find this approach broadens and makes more acute their existing work through using the steps of the memory reconsolidation process.

Although beginners are welcome, participants will need to be familiar with the basic ideas and vocabulary of Coherence Therapy, an online primer on which will be made available before the workshop as well as through reading selected chapters from the Unlocking the Emotional Brain book.

You must have taught me quite well over the weekend Simon, as I have been developing more facility with the 'shovel-lifting' so to speak keeping the focus on the symptom with several more clients yesterday and today as well.  I feel like the sharpness of the sessions is increasing without detracting too much from the flow or from the empathic relational stance.

a valuable introduction and overview of a therapeutic approach that I think has real value. The program was very skilfully guided by Niall and provided a great mix of content and experiential learning. The presentation modelled the process and potential learning.
