• Practical ways to support clients who experience complex dissociation
The speakers are Kathryn Livingston and Melanie Goodwin from First Person Plural. Both are survivors of childhood abuse and live with dissociative identity disorder, (DID). Both have received DID focused therapy for this and have gained good insight into how this affects their daily living through understanding, and have learnt over the years, strategies and techniques that help them to stay grounded and able to live full lives.
During this day, they will look at the origins and the consequences of DID. Sharing some of their own understanding which is supported by sound theoretical knowledge.
