- **Event Description**: A one-day London conference with Adah Sachs, Margot Sunderland, Dan Hughes and Vicki Smith.About this EventOverviewPresenters will discuss therapeutic work with children, teenagers and adults who've experienced such overwhelmingly painful life experiences that they have developed extreme defences to protect them from the pain. Without therapeutic intervention, these defences impact adversely on all aspects of life. The presenters will discuss what mind, brain and body do with extreme trauma, when no one was there to help you process what happened. They will discuss the healing process and trauma recovery in terms of evidence-based theories of change.Through moving case material, they will illustrate how collaborative sense making in the safety of the therapeutic relationship, can enable people to create coherent narratives for what has happened, grieve, find self-compassion so they can move on in their lives.About the presentersAdah SachsAttachment-based psychoanalytic psychotherapist specialising in extreme trauma.
