‘You choose your friends but you don’t choose your siblings’

Thinking about sibling issues brought to therapy by adult clients

A one-day workshop for trainees counsellors and psychotherapists with Sally Despenser

Saturday 28th March 2020, 10.00am – 4.00pm

This one day experiential, interactive workshop focuses on sibling issues brought to therapy by adult clients, including past and current difficulties in family relationships.

We will explore:

• What childhood events and patterns may have influenced sibling interaction in adulthood
• Issues which arise in different family constellations – step, half, blended, no siblings, ill or dead siblings.
• Difference, envy, competition and loss, and how these may appear in the transference
• Flash points in the life stages of sibling relationships
