Please join us for our Peer Consultation Group: Working with Relational Trauma  

on Friday April 4 from 8:30 to 10:00 am

with Rey Junco, D.Ed

Relational trauma refers to the psychological impact of chronic neglect, abuse, and/or betrayal on the ability to form and maintain healthy interpersonal relationships. This consultation group will explore therapeutic approaches and challenges encountered when working with clients who have relational trauma, with a focus on building secure therapeutic alliances and navigating complex attachment dynamics. Topics may include: reflective practice, addressing countertransference, and developing trauma-informed strategies to foster clients' emotional safety and healing.

PPC Peer Consult Groups are offered to members only. Space is limited to ensure participants can benefit fully. Please see the attendance policy below.
