Tue 20-10-2020, 19:00

Dr Simon Wharne talk about the meaning of resilience. Go to our Meet-up page to buy tickets https://www.meetup.com/Society-of-Psychotherapy/events/273008671/

Resilience is a phenomenon that evades simple definition, a concept which researchers have not adequately pinned down or systemised in their ‘evidence-based practice’. We will explore conflicting understandings of resilience in this workshop, in a landscape of ‘adversity’, ‘burnout’, ‘post traumatic growth’, ‘compassion fatigue’, ‘hardiness’, ’incongruence’, ‘survival’, ‘bouncing back’ and ‘COVID-19’. Somewhere in all that we might come to understand what resilience means for each of us, as something that we might build up or simply find revealed in us. Come along to this workshop if you want to develop your understanding.

Simon has worked in community mental health services for thirty years and managed teams for twenty years. He specialised in extending services to people who have complex needs and took a lead in a national organisation, promoting good practice and innovation. He then completed a PhD, exploring decision making in mental healthcare, more recently returning to counselling practice, gaining the DCPsych with the NSPC. He is currently a counselling psychologist working in an NHS community team am in private practice.
