The Deepening – Working with Shadow
WITH MATTHEW APPLETON AND TEAM
The Deepening is an annual 3 day advanced workshop for graduates of the Integrative Baby Therapy Training. This years Deepening explores the nature of shadow – that which may be hidden in the relational field of an Integrative Baby Therapy session. Increasing our awareness of shadow dynamics can help us hold parents and babies with more precise clarity and deeper awareness of what is really happening in the relational field.
Themes include:
- The nature of shadow – what do we mean by shadow? How does it function in our lives? Where does it arise from?
- The shadow of the therapist. What are we not seeing about ourselves? What do we feel we need to hide from others? How can be bring more awareness to shadow? What is the role of compassion in embracing shadow?
- The shadow of the parents. What is not being said? What are the parents afraid of being known? How can we welcome the shadow elements of what the parents are holding, without shaming them?
- Transference and counter-transference. How does the the therapist’s relationship with their parents impact their work as IBT practitioners? How have the parents of the baby we are working with, internalised their relationships with their parents? How does this effect their parenting style? How does this effect the baby?
- Projection and Introjection. What hopes and fears do we as therapists bring to our work? How do we experience the hopes and fears of the parents we work with?
