Counsellors Victoria (CV) online professional development Zoom session for September 2024:
CV Presents:
TraumaCode is a psychotherapeutic deck of 96 cards based on Jungian psychological concepts of shadow work, existential growth, the self and the unconscious collective found in metaphors & symbols .
It is a personal development system with a symbol, metaphor, meaning and somatic exercise for each card and can be layered with other cards for deeper work.
Perfect for the individual client, as assigned homework or as a valuable addition to any therapists toolbox.
Traumacode is the unique work of Deirdre Rolfe combining multiple modalities integrated over 30 years as a Psychotherapist with a lived experience, specialised in trauma.
Deirdre Rolfe is a psychotherapist and hypnotherapist with a lived experience of trauma and 30 in private practise.
“As a therapist, I offer a unique and innovative approach to the therapeutic journey of healing after trauma. I believe in exploring uncharted territory and venturing beyond traditional paths, providing my clients with new choices, different perspectives, and embodied practices that encompass metaphors, symbols, and rituals. By combining evidence-based models with holistic, Eastern, spiritual, and mindful practices, my approach aims to cultivate a more empowered and whole person outcome.”
Deirdre will discuss her experience on this topic, followed by a Q & A and the option to network with others in industry, in small groups, following the presentation.
This is a 90-minute presentation relevant to the Counselling / Healthcare industries, complete with assessment component.
A ‘Certificate of Attendance with online assessment’ is issued to all participants.
