Description
Responding to heightened emotions of 'Big Feelings' can be tricky. We live in a culture that generally struggles to 'deal with' people who show 'too much' emotion, which is often people showing the impacts and residue of trauma. What are 'Big Feelings'? Mad, bad, sad and glad are the Big Feelings we find ourselves, our families and clients living with. This workshop will provide a space to reflect both personally and professionally on what it is like to witness and work with Big Feelings.Participants will have the opportunity to reflect on their personal responses when working with trauma, to talk about staying safe in the face of Big Feelings and to explore increasingly used terms like relational healing/recovery and reflective practice. The workshop is a combination of theory, role-plays and process orientated learning, including Indigenous learnings such as Dadirri (deep listening) and Prun (regulation of stress in self, family and community).
This event will cover:
- To identify a deeper appreciation of how 'big feelings' impact participants
- To recognise triggers in self and others
- To develop an awareness of deep listening and reflection
- To generate increased comfort in being/sitting with Big Feelings.
- To develop a deeper understanding of increasingly used terms like relational healing/recovery and reflective practice
