Arrive from 9:30 for coffee, start at 10:00, finish at 5:30

This workshop will enhance your ability to work directly with the impulses of (potential) sex offenders so they discover more ways to to decouple desire from action, and increase self-regulation.

We assume people make the best choice available to them, given how their experience is organised. If they had a better choice they would take it. By slowing down the client’s internal process, things that happen in the blink of an eye can be examined, enabling them to amplify ‘warning signals’, identify ‘choice points’ and discover how to ‘modulate’ their desires and impulses. Modulation, according to Ian McGhilcrist is a neurological “process that resists, but does not negate. It is the imposition of necessary distance, or delay, enabling something new to come forward.”

The workshop will be constructed around a process model of a client’s moment-by-moment subjective experience of Desire-Impulse-Action and how these relate to self-awareness and outcome retention. The day will include demonstration, applications of the method and practice activities.

CPD Certificate of Attendance forms for Continuous Professional Development will be given out on the day.
