Join Dr Andrew Morrice for a deep dive into what the latest mind-body research tells us about the impact of sleep, the microbiome, nutrition, culinary practices and more on our mental and physical health, and recovery … -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- * Length: 1 day (9.30am - 4.00pm) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > A brilliant framework to understand the neurobiology of our needs and how to > manage stress > > DR ALLY JAFFEE, NHS DOCTOR -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WHY TAKE THIS COURSE Sleep and sound nutrition are widely recognised to be essential to mental health – this day gives you an opportunity to learn about these two areas in depth, including the role of the Microbiome. A greater understanding of these two areas can be vital in freeing ourselves from the ‘mind-only mindset’ to help us quickly and effectively resolve many of our difficulties in life. Sleep has always been integral to the human givens approach and this course is a chance to catch up on recent advances in understanding and evidence as to which approaches best help with poor sleep. We will explore how sleep allows for the physical recuperation, learning and emotional regulation that are key to improving many mental health problems. The role of food and the microbiome in mental health is seldom part of managing the immediate challenges we face, yet is so important in preventing difficulties, or maintaining recovery, that it is an area in which we can benefit from feeling greater confidence when guiding and advising our clients (or ourselves!). Throughout the day, tutor and GP Andrew Morrice [https://www.humangivens.com/person/dr-andrew-morrice/] draws on the latest research and his decades of experience managing the complex combination of mental and physical health problems in General Practice (20 of those years, using the Human Givens model), to take us on a deep dive into two of the key interfaces between mind and body: sleep and food, and their effects on our health. > Andrew is a most inspiring teacher who is passionate about his subject. > Furthermore, his experience as a doctor was invaluable... > > PSYCHOTHERAPIST / COUNSELLOR WHAT WILL YOU LEARN * The structure of sleep – and the functions of the different stages of sleep, including Non-REM and Slow Wave/Deep sleep * The fundamental conditions required to promote healthy sleep * The challenges of assessing sleep properly both for ourselves and others * The complex relationships between sleep disturbances and depression, anxiety, pain syndromes and fatigue states, plus * Simple organising ideas for navigating all this complexity * What we can do to help resolve sleep difficulties so that we can wake feeling refreshed and emotionally prepared for the next day * The fundamental science of the Microbiome – and its links to inflammation, mental health and physical health * The eating patterns that worsen or help in mental and emotional health * How and why processed foods undermine and confuse our innate guidance systems * An understanding of the many other factors impinging on our ability to ‘forage’ well in the modern ‘food environment’ * The basis on which foods or eating can become addictive, and how this can point to ways to address these difficulties * Why we should consider the implications of the fasting state for our work * How Human Givens tools can help clarify many of the confusions around food * How to spot diet cults, tribes, and misleading claims * Eating patterns we can confidently recommend to support health and wellbeing * A review of how depression can be seen as a mind-body state rather than a ‘mental health disorder’ * You will also have time to ask our expert tutor questions and benefit from group discussions -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Course Programme The ‘The Mind-Body Connection in depth: Movement, Emotion and Calm’ course starts at 9.30am and runs until 4.00pm. * From 8.30am Registration (Tea and coffee served until 9.25am) * 9.30am Microbiome and Diet – Finding our Food: how did this get so complicated and confusing? * 10.45am Discussion over tea/coffee * 11.15am Understanding Processing, Addiction and Tribalism * 12.45pm Lunch (included) * 1.30pm Getting a good night's sleep * 2.45pm Discussion over tea/coffee * 3.00pm Sleep, depression and inflammation * 4.00pm Day ends -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WHO IS THIS COURSE SUITABLE FOR? * The Mind-Body Connection In Depth series is open to anyone interested in deepening their understanding of mental and physical health. * If you previously attended Andrew Morrice’s Mind-Body Connection course, and would like to spend more time on practical applications, the microbiome, the interface between diet and mental health and to thoroughly review the topic of sleep – this course is for you. * Please note: you don’t need to have attended the previous Mind-Body Connection course to come on this one, or its sister course ‘Movement, Emotion and Calm’. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- https://directory.cpdstandards.com/providers/human-givens-college/ This course has been independently accredited by the internationally recognised CPD Standards Office [https://directory.cpdstandards.com/providers/human-givens-college/] for 6 hours of CPD training.

This practical workshop covers the unique challenges of working with complex trauma cases and gives you clear guidance on the most effective ways to help -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- * * Accredited CPD: 6 hours * Length: 1 day (9.30am - 4.00pm) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Absolutely jam-packed with techniques/information and resources. Ros is > superlative. A calm, confident and articulate trainer... > > J YAP, THERAPIST WHY TAKE THIS COURSE Clients suffering from Complex PTSD (C-PTSD) or who have experienced trauma in a shutdown or dissociative state, can present unique challenges to practitioners working with them – but with the right knowledge and skills we can help sufferers move forward in their lives. In this hands-on, experiential workshop you will learn more about what makes trauma ‘complex’, why shutdown or dissociation are often experienced by sufferers, and how to best work with such presentations using the Human Givens framework of understanding. You will also have the chance to collaborate with other experienced practitioners and clinicians during exercises designed to further your understanding, add to your existing skillsets, and bring wider context to an often-misunderstood area of work. During this intensive day of live, in-person training, experienced psychotherapist Ros Townsend will introduce you to a framework within which you can set your understanding of complex trauma presentations and discover the opportunities that we have to help clients move forward from their difficulties. You will learn more about the neurobiology of the automatic survival options that we have available to us, especially dissociative and ‘shutdown’ states, and leave with an understanding of how to use this knowledge to inform your work, giving you greater confidence to work creatively and flexibly with such presentations. From understanding the symptoms that are now recognised as distinguishing C-PTSD, to adapting existing HG techniques and strategies and introducing new tools and skills, this course will explore how we, as clinicians, can approach such complex presentations without getting lost in the complexity ourselves. Using case histories and discussion you will have the chance to understand more about the unique challenges that such work presents and to leave feeling more confident in your ability as a therapist to work effectively and contextually with these. > Such a thought-provoking and informative day. Complex PTSD is a real buzz word > at present, this took the mystery out of it in a clear and understandable way > – highly recommend... > > MELISSA DERRICOURT     WHAT WILL YOU LEARN * What Complex PTSD (C-PTSD) is * What other symptoms a client may present with in addition to those meeting the criteria for ‘classic’ PTSD * How to effectively work with these within the Human Givens framework of understanding * Vital tools for psycho-education – both adding to your own understanding and to pass on to clients * Why individuals enter into a dissociative or ‘shutdown’ state * The difference between ‘freeze’ and ‘shutdown’ * Why anger can present when an individual comes out of a ‘shutdown’ state * How to help a client deal effectively with anger if it does arise * The crucial role of the pattern-matching processes in the brain in post-traumatic stress symptoms – and how the kinds of templates stored can subtly differ in more complex trauma * How to adapt existing techniques – such as rewind and deconditioning molar memories – to work creatively with such presentations * The Dos and Don’ts when working with Guided Imagery in complex presentations * How to refine your Guided Imagery skillset to powerfully benefit clients who have experienced trauma in a shutdown state * Why any work that we do must be informed by the innate ability we all have to recover from trauma * How to avoid negatively reframing trauma and making symptoms worse * The most effective ways to help clients towards recovery and post-traumatic growth Under careful guidance from the tutor, you will: * Explore and discuss the different survival options available to us as humans in traumatic situations * Learn more about the neurobiology of these states – including our passive survival responses * Develop a new framework of understanding within which to set your work with all kinds of trauma * Understand more about why ‘shutdown’ or ‘dissociation’ are often associated with complex presentations * Understand why addictions and self-harming behaviours are often a part of the picture * Work collaboratively with peers and colleagues to extend and develop your own skillsets and knowledge * Explore how guided imagery can be adapted and used to most powerfully benefit clients suffering in this way You will leave with: * The confidence to work creatively and flexibly with a wider range of presentations * A clear understanding of a framework within which you can work and continue to develop and adapt your tools and skillsets * An appreciation of the importance of taking your time with such work and proceeding at a pace right for each individual client * An understanding of how to support clients in moving forward from the use of faulty coping strategies – such as addiction and self-harm * Greater confidence in creating metaphors that work powerfully for clients * An understanding of how helping a client to meet their emotional needs is particularly key to recovery in the most complex cases Throughout the day there will be plenty of opportunity for you to ask questions and to engage in collaborative work and discussion with the tutor and with experienced colleagues and practitioners. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- IMPORTANT NOTE Working with Complex PTSD requires specific skills and experience and thus is only suitable for practitioners either already working in this area and looking to extend their skillset or those who are already practicing as therapists and wish to begin working in this area.
