This course is aimed at anyone who has an interest in CBT and may also be of particular use to those currently working in the addiction, counselling, mental health or community/voluntary sector.

The aim of this 4 week course is to provide an overview of CFT and the space to practice the skills associated with this approach.

Recovery from Trauma Start Date 26th Feb 2025

Practical steps as to how we can get through trauma. People think of trauma as something that happened in the past but in fact it’s the way we respond to things in the present. It’s how we react to the body’s ‘alarm system’, how we respond to memories, and how we deal with that anxiety within ourselves.

The course will examine how trauma affects the human body and what people can do to deal with this and live more mindfully in the present.

Course Duration

This 8 week course will explore how to better cope with trauma.
