Members of The Psychological Society of Ireland and The Addiction Counsellors of Ireland can receive learning credits/CPD points for completing this workshop. 

"I found the workshop hugely informative and was immersed from beginning to end.  It was fascinating how the impact of being shamed, especially during childhood developmental stages can impact so hugely on "the self". I learnt so much about the difference between shame and guilt and feel that I can now work from a far more informed place when working with clients presenting with hidden shame. The role of validation in working with such clients and the emphasis placed on the do's and dont's and the rationale for same will be hugely beneficial to me and my clients moving forwards. Overall, hugely informative, enjoyable and beneficial."

"The trainer was brilliant, spoke very clearly and ensured everyone understood the information. Main points were reiterated throughout the day and this helped absorb the information. Open discussion, opportunity to learn from others, well organized and facilitated with breaks to ensure high levels of engagement. Not too long but long enough to be of huge benefit. Training on zoom worked well with minimal technical issues."
