About this workshop

Some experiences are so intense and impactful that you can say that you have experienced a life-changing situation. Family and friends are expected to provide emotional care unless professional support is really necessary.

In practice, this often does not work or is insufficient. This is mainly due to the lack of empathic skills among those whom the affected person expects understanding and support from. That naturally is very grievous and can also lead to serious health problems. Consider, for example, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). The experience and its consequences also affect the relationships within the family and the social environment. It is possible that the affected person is no longer able to work.

During this training, you will learn more about the consequences of experiencing traumatizing events, how you can deal with them and how you can best support those who are affected.

The training helps you with:

• development of your empathic skills
• being able to offer (emotional) support to those affected
• accelerating the recovery of the affected
• the ability to preserve and improve the bond between the affected person and yourself

The training is practice-oriented and always consists of theory, followed by a demonstration, an exercise (individual, group or role-play) and ends with an evaluation. The goal is to develop basic skills and to inspire you to develop your own style that leads to a satisfying result for you and those involved.

For Whom

This training is for anyone who wants to improve their ability to support people who have experienced a shocking event. On top of that, you have a desire to expand your own empathic listening and speaking skills.

Your aim is to be better equipped if you would face such a situation or get better informed when you already are in one, for example as a caregiver.
