    Dear Participant,

    I invite you to participate in a research study titled “What impact has the global COVID-19 pandemic had on psychotherapists' coping strategies and ethical self-care practices to prevent burnout and compassion fatigue, and what can be done to better prepare them for future traumatic events?”

    My name is Gill Wall, and I am a Master's degree student, in my final year, studying Humanistic and Integrative Psychotherapy at Turning Point Institute. The purpose of this study is to explore and understand the lived experiences of psychotherapists during the global pandemic and its effects on their ethical self-care practices, ability to cope in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, and in preparation for future traumatic events through the lens of a qualitative, Interpretive phenomenological analysis.

    Inclusion criteria for participation are as follows:

    1. Professionally qualified psychotherapists in Ireland

    2. Participants must have actively provided therapy services during the global COVID-19 pandemic.

    3. A diverse range of viewpoints and experiences: Participants will include psychotherapists with different theoretical backgrounds, degrees of experience and practice contexts such as individual therapy, couples therapy, family therapy, group therapy, and child and adolescent therapy.

    Benefits of this Research:

    Your participation will contribute valuable insights to the understanding of psychotherapists' experiences during the pandemic, potentially benefiting the broader mental health community and future support for organisations as a whole in the event of future global pandemics.

    Details of Involvement:

    If you decide to participate, your involvement will include one-to-one semi-structured interviews discussing your lived experiences and coping strategies during the pandemic. The interviews will be audio-recorded for accurate representation and analysis. The estimated time commitment for each interview is approximately 1 hour.

    To participate please, at your earliest convenience, email wall.gill@gmail.com

    Please find attached an information sheet for participants and an informed consent form

    I appreciate you taking the time to read and thank you for considering participating in this study.

    Venue: The Ashling Hotel, Parkgate Street, Dublin 8

    You are invited to join us for this two-day intensive TEAM-CBT masterclass which will enhance your professional practice. You will learn an exciting new approach to Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), developed by a pioneer in the field, Dr David Burns. With a focus on working with anxiety, highly experienced trainers from the USA (Dr Leigh Harrington & Elizabeth Dandenell) will lead the masterclass and will be joined by trainers from the UK to teach the full TEAM-CBT framework in the context of working with anxiety. CBT techniques have had tremendous impact around the world since the 1970s. Numerous research studies have demonstrated its efficacy. The structure of TEAM-CBT creates opportunities to make it even more effective.

    TEAM-CBT is not a new “school” of therapy, but rather is a framework for conducting measurement-based therapy that is proven to be more effective than traditional therapy. T.E.A.M. is an acronym for the four crucial ingredients of effective therapy known to improve treatment outcomes: Testing, Empathy, Agenda-Setting, and Methods. TEAM-CBT is thus an evolution of CBT that can lead to extremely rapid recovery. If you’d like to learn about this new approach and boost your therapist skills, then please do join us where you will also earn 14 CPD points as well as automatic qualification for Level 1 TEAM-CBT certification.

    Due to the nature of this TEAM-CBT masterclass, places are limited – so please book early. ‘Early-bird’ Cost (until Friday April 5th): €210 – to include coffee breaks & lunch on both days. Cost after April 5th is €240.

    Aware joins mental health organisations worldwide calling for better understanding to eliminate social stigma and promote acceptance


    Global theme of #BipolarTogether aims to connect, educate and inspire hope

    • 1-2% (up to 1 in 50 people) in Ireland experience a lifetime prevalence of bipolar disorder
    • Free Aware Living Well With Bipolar Disorder Programme open for registration

    Ireland. Sunday 24th March 2024: In support of World Bipolar Day this Saturday 30th March, mental health organisation Aware will run a weeklong campaign under the global theme of #BipolarTogether which aims to highlight that we are all in this together - whether living with bipolar disorder, supporting a loved one or simply as an advocate for mental wellness. Affecting up to 40 million people worldwide (WHO, 2022), it is estimated that 1-2% of people in Ireland experience a lifetime prevalence of bipolar disorder. It is a complex and chronic condition characterized by extreme changes in mood and energy and can have a profound impact on every aspect of a person’s day-to-day life. World Bipolar Day is celebrated on the birthday of Vincent Van Gogh, who was posthumously diagnosed as having bipolar disorder. Its goal is to inspire a global shift in thinking that will eliminate social stigma and promote acceptance.

    Throughout this week, Aware will aim to increase understanding of bipolar disorder by sharing lived experience perspectives, along with clinical expertise to educate the public on the causes, course and consequences of the condition. The organisation is encouraging people to visit www.aware.ie/worldbipolarday to engage with its wide range of resources to include free educational programmes specifically designed for people with a diagnosis of bipolar disorder or those supporting a loved one.

    Bipolar disorder is characterised by periods of low (depressed), high (elated) or mixed mood separated by periods of normal mood. While it can be difficult to diagnose, the first signs are often seen in late teens or early adulthood. Symptoms can be severe, but it is possible to live a healthy and productive life once the illness is effectively treated. Correct diagnosis of both bipolar disorder and the type of bipolar disorder a person is experiencing is essential for successful treatment.

    Dr Susan Brannick, Clinical Director at Aware commented, “World Bipolar Day provides a great opportunity for mental health organisations worldwide to come together and bring global awareness to bipolar disorder, to educate and improve public understanding of the condition, as well as ensuring those with a diagnosis are familiar with the supports available to them. Unfortunately, stigma continues to be a challenge faced by many people living with bipolar disorder, and their families. The impact of stigma can be significant, affecting symptom levels, quality of life and even access to services. Stigma can be understood as lack of knowledge and/or negative beliefs which further reinforces the importance of awareness campaigns like World Bipolar Day.”

    The course of bipolar disorder is very variable. If poorly managed or left untreated, it can result in worsening of symptoms and more frequent episodes that last longer. It is a condition that requires lifelong management - and knowledge is an essential first step. Empowering people to look after their mental health is an integral part of Aware’s work and the organisation has developed a programme specifically designed to address the needs of people living with bipolar disorder. The Aware Living Well With Bipolar Disorder Programme is an education and support programme that aims to provide participants with opportunities to understand and manage bipolar disorder effectively, equipping them with the knowledge and tools to live well. The free programme consists of one 90-minute session per week, over a period of eight weeks and is delivered by a mental health professional.

    Commenting on the programme, Dr Brannick said: “A recent *survey in the UK indicated that 67% of people with bipolar disorder did not receive self-management advice when they were first diagnosed and 72% knew no one else with the condition. Self-management and knowing your own condition is a central part of living well with bipolar disorder. Aware’s Living Well With Bipolar Disorder programme offers participants the time to understand their own experiences, develop a wellness plan and meet others with shared experiences. I would really encourage anyone who would like to learn more about bipolar disorder and how to live well with the condition to consider registering for the upcoming phase of virtual and in-person programmes.”

    For those supporting a loved one experiencing bipolar disorder or depression, Aware offers a Relatives & Friends Programme, a psycho-educational programme which was developed in response to a clear need for information, understanding and practical support. The free programme consists of six hours, over four weeks and aims to equip participants with the tools to understand and support a loved one, whilst maintaining their own health and wellbeing.

    To engage with Aware’s resources on bipolar disorder or to register for Aware’s free Living Well With Bipolar Disorder Programme or Relatives & Friends Programme (both available in-person and virtually via Zoom), please visit www.aware.ie.

    IRISH SOCIETY OF JUNGIAN ANALYSTS

    in conjunction with the

    IRISH ANALYTICAL PSYCHOLOGY ASSOCIATION

    Presents live on Zoom

    Thursday, 21st March 2024: 7.30pm – 9.00pm (Irish time) _____________________________________________________________________________________


    HUMILITY, THE WAY OF THE EARTH

    Jim Fitzgerald
    Jungian Analyst


    Through the profound experience which he recounts in the Red Book, Jung was compelled to understand the significance of Humility as a vital aspect of the economy of the human psyche. The talk will review the significance of Jung’s discovery and will apply it in order to understand how humanity has treated its home planet, the Earth, to its detriment. Because of the inflated attitude of modern humans, the sacred aspect of Earth, the Anima Mundi, is endangered and in a critical condition. Only a reappraisal of true humility may generate a positive outcome.

    Jim Fitzgerald was born and raised in a small village in the south of Ireland. His academic background is in Ancient Classics and Byzantine Greek. After a career as a Primary school teacher in London, he trained as an analyst at the C. G. Jung Institute in Zurich. He is a past chairman of The C. G. Jung Analytical Psychology Club, London and a founding member and past chairman of The Guild of Analytical Psychologists. He is also a Senior Member of The Independent Group of Analytical Psychologists. He has a private practice in London and has lectured widely.
