What if the most powerful change in the therapy room starts by widening the lens beyond the individual? We’re rolling out three high-impact sessions designed to help you hold complexity with confidence: practical systems work with teens and young adults, a trauma-informed rethink of rage, and a blueprint for embedding context, diversity, and equity into everyday clinical work.
We begin with youth therapy where the client’s “ecosystem” matters as much as the client. You’ll hear concrete interventions you can use immediately: a post‑it identity task that surfaces unseen parts of self, a Jenga exercise that flips power by having the therapist answer the same questions, and image-led prompts to help less verbal clients speak through story. These tools translate abstract theory into small steps that reduce shame, build trust, and open deeper material without forcing it.
Then we reframe anger. Instead of treating fight responses as bad behaviour, we treat rage as an adaptive signal tied to fear and powerlessness. You’ll learn how to contain high arousal with calm, grounded presence; why rhythmic movement can discharge stored activation when words fall short; and how to treat anger as data about boundary violations and safety needs. The goal is agency—helping clients move from overwhelm to choice.
Finally, we turn the lens on our profession. Using the Scoped framework, we show how to make context, collective history, and social location core clinical data. We explore neurodiversity beyond neuronormative assumptions, challenge ageism in growth narratives, and centre multilingual identity as vital to attachment and meaning-making. This isn’t an add-on; it’s a standard for practice that reduces harm and expands care.
