THE HELPFUL ANIMAL IN FAIRY TALES

Antonia Boll

Jungian Analyst

Fairy tales, with their focus on life’s challenges, can be read as vital instruction manuals, in allegorical form, when we are compelled to look beyond conventional solutions and seek the guidance of a source beyond the everyday. Talking animals, witches, giants & dwarves can all become catalysts in our journey towards wholeness, re-connecting us to our instinctual nature and the deeper purpose of our lives. M L von Franz says: If any animal gives you advice and you don’t follow it, then you are finished. We will ponder that longing within us for a closer connection to the natural world and to the great web of being of which we are a part. Antonia’s talk will explore those moments in story, at the interface between conscious and unconscious, when we can listen through to the voice of nature.

Antonia Boll is a member of the Association of Jungian Analysts in London where she contributes to its training programme. She also maintains a close connection to the Re-Vision Centre for Transpersonal & Integrative Therapy, where she taught for 20 years and is honoured as their first Elder. She was a visiting supervisor on the IAAP Router training in Kiev, Ukraine and is in private practice in London.

Group Supervision

In this proposed new group, I would like to tell you what you can expect from my model of psychotherapy group supervision:

Recently I successfully completed a two-year training for experienced gestalt supervisors with Marguerita Spagnuolo Lobb with Jean Robine, Miriam Taylor and Christine Stevens. This took place in the Gestalt Institute of Italy. www.gestaltitaly.com

The shared aim is to give the patient a new perception of their contact boundary.

First, I want you to feel well, to feel safe and to feel like interconnecting.

The supervisory process includes:

• Clear contracting.
• Inclusion and slowing down to support group anxiety.
• Attending to the relational dance in the therapeutic relationship;
• Attending to the patient's embodied presence in relation to the therapist; how they make contact;
• Exploring the therapist's experience of this contact;
• Affirming the intentionality of the therapist.
• Switching to joy is deliberately attended to.

Delivery: On line. Fee: 60 euros, payable on the day.

In a group of four, meetings are held monthly Friday 24th March at 11am for two hours.

If you would like to ask me more about this support, please call me at 087 755 5680 or email me at jamesfitzgibbon57@gmail.com

BRAINSPOTTING PHASE 1 TRAINING

WITH MONIKA GOS, CPSYCHOL,
BRAINSPOTTING TRAINER

When: 19th – 21st May 2023 Where: Online (Zoom) Cost: £445.00 Early bird price available till 19th April. CPD: 24 hours

Endorsed by such leading authors as Dr Gabor Mate, Bessel van der Kolk and Norman Doidge, Brainspotting can quickly release symptoms of trauma, bringing relief from the experience of psychological and physical pain. Principles of Brainspotting work hand in hand and reflect the latest developments in neuroscience.

In Brainspotting we are tapping into the brain’s inherent capacity for self-organising and self-healing. It can be easily integrated into your clinical practice, enhancing any therapeutic model.

In Phase 1 training you will discover how to access dissociated traumatic memories stored in the deep subcortical brain. You will learn how to use eye positions to locate, process and release trauma. This level of healing can be achieved neither through language nor will.

Brainspotting will take your practice and the relationship with your client to a whole new dimension, bringing deep healing and lasting change.
