TODAY’S WORKSHOP
Opening A different approach to complex trauma, grounded in biological foundations and the organising principles of living and non-living systems.
Playground 1 — Ground Wobbly and sufficiently reliable ground: observing how the same living system self-organises under different conditions of support and constraint.
Playground 2 — From Flat Map to Spatial Form 0-twist and Möbius strips · The TIFT structural map, flat and folded · Continuity, torsion and spatial form.
Playground 3 — Clinical Unfolding Confidential clinical extracts · Client and therapist perspectives · Discussion.
Closing Questions · Reflections · Resources.
WHY THIS IS RELEVANT
The initial conditions of attachment shape a person’s structural organisation, which in turn shapes how therapy unfolds. This workshop invites you to observe, experience and perceive a structural, bottomup approach conceived particularly for complex trauma clients — grounded in the biological principle that living systems maintain their wholeness under constraint.
HANDOUTS
Printed handouts will be distributed at the end of the workshop, allowing today’s experience to come first and the written material to support later integration as well as a QR code for further information.
CLINICAL CONFIDENTIALITY
The clinical extracts may not be photographed, recorded, copied or shared.
