Cognitive Analytic Therapy and Working Relationally

Emily will be presenting on Cognitive Analytic Therapy and exploring ideas around how internalised experiences of feeling chronically unseen, misunderstood, or ‘not good enough’ can impact on a person’s developing sense of self. If chronically repeated, these sorts of experiences are implicated in difficulties with emotion regulation and dissociation that can be confusing and bewildering.  Emily will finish with an overview of the Multiple Self States Model as a way of working with emotion dysregulation and borderline personality disorder.

Emily has undertaken specialist training in Cognitive Analytic Therapy (CAT). CAT pays special attention to the relationships we have, both with others and ourselves.
