Menopause Matters Workshop with Joanna Groves About this event Menopause impacts 51% of the population and yet there is little to no research into the psychological and physiological health and wellbeing of menopausal people. Therapists and wellbeing practitioners can sometimes be unarmed and uninformed when it comes to clients’ experiences, as well as how your own menopause journey can influence your work. Collectively and individually, we need to be aware of the cultural and gender-bias limitations that we may unintentionally bring into our therapy practice. So, how can we have these conversations in the therapy room and supervision? The mere mention of menopause in the therapy room can evoke embarrassment, shame and confusion for both client and therapist. As therapists, we can offer our clients the psychological skills, awareness, and context to make sense of their experiences in ways that can shape the direction of therapy in new ways. We'll look at practical ways to frame menstrual cycle awareness and menopause through a counselling & psychotherapy lens that can better support therapist and client. We'll take a relational approach to explore how clients may present in therapy with symptoms and experiences that overlap with the early stages of perimenopause, and beyond. We’ll also consider the implications for the therapist experiencing peri/menopause both personally and professionally. Everyone is welcome. If you see people who identify as female, queer, trans and non-binary, are a couple's therapist, or are likely to experience menopause yourself, then this workshop is for you. This 2-hour workshop will be recorded and you can use the ticket function to pre-purchase the recording before the event. This will be useful for colleagues who are not able to attend the event live and also for those who attend the event live and want to watch again. This workshop will be hosted on the Zoom meeting platform where we will use our camera and microphones to interact with each other as a group. To support practitioners in this time of extraordinary circumstances we are offering access to this group for a self-select fee. The self-select fee is a radical inclusion policy to open learning for all colleagues. The guide price for this event is £20.00, however, we appreciate that income varies greatly in different locations and circumstances. Please contribute what you can to help us maintain inclusive professional training. All the colleagues at ONLINEVENTS and the presenters we collaborate with are committed to working in a manner consistent with the BACP Ethical Framework, which can be accessed on the link below.
