| Lifespan Integration Training |
Lifespan Integration training is carried out in two parts. Level One (Basic LI)This workshop provides therapists with the skills they need to begin using Lifespan Integration protocol with their clients or patients.During the workshop, participants will have the opportunity to practice using and experiencing LI under supervision. After completing this workshop, therapists will be able to use LI to help their clients with attachment issues, anxiety disorders, difficulties with affect regulation, with self-esteem and with most other current issues which are related to a history of abuse or neglect in childhood. This introductory training does not prepare therapists to use LI therapy with fragile clients or with clients who are extremely dysregulated. The training briefly reviews the current neuroscience of integration and describes how trauma affects the encoding of explicit memory. The training also provides a brief overview of how modified versions of the LI protocol can be used in the treatment of many psychological disorders which have at their root incomplete neural integration. These disorders include anorexia, anxiety disorders and dissociative disorders. Therapists are advised to complete both Part One and Part Two levels of LI training before attempting to use Lifespan Integration therapy with these more complex disorders. Level Two (Advanced LI)This workshop covers in more depth the science of neural integration, and will explain how variations of the LI protocols can be used to treat many disorders which stem from early ruptures in attachment including Borderline Personality Disorder and Narcissistic Personality Disorder. DVDs made from videotapes of client sessions are used to demonstrate how LI therapy can be used to treat many different dissociative disorders including: anorexia, attachment disorders, somatic disorders stemming from early (even pre-verbal) trauma, and Dissociative Identity Disorder. PLEASE NOTE On Peggy's site in the US it describes the qualifications required to attend based on the US (largely more medical) therapy qualifications. This is because in the US, much therapy is carried out by psychologists and psychiatrists, and many psychotherapists initially qualify medically. Clinical Psychology qualifications and psychiatrists are welcome to train in the UK. In the UK, counselling and psychotherapy qualifications are very different from the US Exceptions will be considered - potential trainees who wish to discuss this should do so with the organisers of the relevant course.
