Lapidus International AGM 2020

Jeannie's Workshop

“Writing comprises one of the most widely used and effective forms of reflection that exists.  The process of committing thoughts and feelings to words operates on a number of levels.  As ideas, phrases, feeling or images that may have been rattling around in and out of awareness become fixed on the page,  they become externalised and open to scrutiny: ’Is that what I really mean?’. ‘Is that the totality of what I feel, or just a part of it?’  Putting the words or feelings ‘out there’, on the page, allows the rational, sense-making part of the writer to be more involved.”

 Foreword by John McLeod, Professor of Counselling, University of Abertay, in Jeannie Wright’s 2nd edn (2018). Reflective Writing in Counselling and Psychotherapy. Sage Publications. 

What to expect in the workshop:

• -   Some writing activities based on recent practice and research;
• -   Commitment to experiment with self-supervision to develop professional wisdom and re-balance the practitioner;
• -   3 examples of how peer supervision groups could safe- guard client best interests, enhance creative and ethical practice and self-care.

And, of course, at the AGM itself, we will be inviting members to step up as board members. Think you would like to join the board? Check out our past blog posts on the available positions here:
