Our wounds as medicine

Bookings have now closed for this lecture

This lecture is part of an innovative series organised by the Tavistock Trauma Service and is designed to reflect the clinical approach of the work whilst emphasising an adapted psychoanalytic approach with multi-modality and trauma-informed care.

We also use neurobiological and attachment theory to understand the impact of trauma. Our series will present a range of external speakers, each experts in the field, who will bring their own understanding of trauma via a presentation, followed by an audience question and answer session.

This lecture can be booked individually or as part of a cost-saving bundle comprising the three summer 2023 series lectures.

Who is this lecture for?

It is for you if you are a professional working within the mental health field who have an interest in trauma. You may be a psychologist, psychiatrist, social worker, mental health nurse, support worker, counsellor or therapist.

Our talks will cover neurobiology, attachment theory and different psychoanalytic perspectives on trauma, including historical child sexual abuse.

Lecture 1: Our wounds as medicine

Thursday 4 May 2023

This lecture will be recorded.

Lecturer: Concetta Perot

As people involved in helping others heal, awareness of our own wounding is critical to safe and effective practice. Drawing on The Wounded Healer archetype and the idea of our wounds as medicine, this lecture will seek to open up dialogue (internal and external) about the place of our own wounding in the work we do. It will be an open and frank exploration of how we relate with our clients, our colleagues and our professional and personal selves in the light of the pain and scars we all hold by virtue of being human.
