Belong To and Trinity College Dublin want to know what it is like to be LGBTQI+ in Ireland today. Take part in the Being LGBTQI+ in Ireland study today to share your experiences of being an LGBTQI+ person in Ireland.

In 2016, Belong To and Trinity College Dublin collaborated on The LGBTIreland Report – a ground-breaking national study into the mental health and wellbeing of the LGBTQI+ community in Ireland. Over 2,000 people responded, and the research has been used to advocate for better services, supports and policies for the LGBTQI+ community.

On the 13th of September, the Being LGBTQI+ in Ireland research was launched. This new study will track the changes in the LGBTQI+ community since the last year. The information for TheLGBTIreland Report was collected in 2014/15, before the same-sex marriage referendum and the introduction of the Gender Recognition Act in 2015.

With this new body of research, we have the chance to see what has changed for the LGBTQI+ community since these major milestones.

This anonymous research will examine the mental health and wellbeing of LGBTQI+ people in the Republic of Ireland and investigate public attitudes towards LGBTQI+ people. The survey is for LGBTQI+ people aged 14 and is anonymous and confidential

Being Human: Six Ways We Need Each Other

from Tuesday November 8-December 13th, 6-7.30pm

(Max Participants 12)

with Emma Philbin Bowman (BA, MIAHIP)

"Emma's ability to communicate complex concepts and themes in simple language is a gift"

Maria, Cork

"This material is evocative and stirring, encouraging us to stay vividly alive and open. Being Human celebrates our need for various others always. This is a nourishing course that encourages us to evolve and thrive across the arc of our lives."

Emma

In Being Human psychotherapist and facilitator Emma Philbin Bowman explores the rich territory of our relational lives from a fresh and enlivening angle.

Drawing on an integrative model based in self-psychology and object relations, this highly accessible course explores six forms of connection each of us need in order to thrive: containment, mirroring, twinship, adversity, resonance and partnership. Participants will develop a clear, intuitive understanding of each form and its unique value and potency in our lives with others.

This material is evocative but gentle, providing a refreshing and spacious lens by which to revisit our lives with others. These is rich territory to explore in a small group, and much of our learning will arise together.

draws on a rich map from the work of Stephen Cope, the self-object work of Heinz Kohut. The material is also informed by Winnicott, Hillman and contemporary neuroscience. It is designed to benefit participants in their personal process and in their work with others.

Each week has two elements: brief theoretical content - in clear modules on Teachable - and a live session, where Emma will present the theme and blend group work with more intimate inquiry exercises. (Click through and scroll to view sample modules).

Special IAHIP pricing available to November 1. [CPD Certs available]

This course is also available as a stand-alone offering without live sessions – email emmapb@me.com for info or see my school on teachable.

Study on Therapist Effects

You are invited to participate in my research study entitled ‘An exploration of clinical supervisors’ lived experience of “Therapist Effects”; an interpretative phenomenological analysis.

“Therapist Effects” is ‘the systematic effects of therapists on patient outcomes beyond the type of treatment of therapeutic technique applied’

This study is part of my MSc in Psychotherapy at Dublin City University.

Participants will be invited to a face to face or online, audio recorded interview which will take approximately one hour.

Your participation in this study will be completely voluntary.

You are eligible to participate if you are a fully qualified and accredited clinical supervisor with five or more years’ experience.

If you would like to receive more information on the study, please contact me be email: wendy.quinn3@mail.dcu.ie or phone: 086 6848046.

Thank you for taking the time to consider participation in this study. I look forward to hearing from you.

Kind regards,

SuperVision

Looking for a supervisor? There are a few remaining places available for online individual SuperVision with Dr. Mary Stefanazzi. But don’t delay because, as the ad says: ‘when they’re gone, they’re gone!’ Phone Mary on 086-8545407 Monday to Friday, between 10am and 3pm, to discuss your requirements.

The aim of Mary’s work is to help every person to flourish – each in their own unique way. 

You may have noticed that Mary presents the word ‘SuperVision’ differently. The depth of meaning of the process of SuperVision with Mary is best captured by this particular representation.

The Oxford Dictionary defines ‘Super’ as excellence, which parallels the suggestion that good SuperVision will always strive for excellence even in the face of adversity. ‘Vision’ is defined as ‘the faculty or state of being able to see’ or ‘the ability to think about or plan the future with imagination or wisdom.’ These definitions best summarise what can happen in effective SuperVision when we are willing to embrace aspects of ourselves and our work that may be missed elsewhere.

Accredited by IAHIP since 1994 Mary has extensive experience and is committed to continuous innovation and learning. Read some client testimonials to give you a flavour of what others have to say about working with Mary.

Continuous Professional Development

There are generally lots of CPD options available that focus on the client aspect of our work as psychotherapists. But where, if anywhere, do psychotherapists go to articulate and unpack their more complex questions about the work in general?

Over Mary’s 20+ years providing SuperVision she has identified many issues that benefit from mature, reflective, professional interpersonal dialogue. The list is extensive but some key categories include: the challenges of working in a profession that is unregulated; financial and ethical dilemmas; the impact of the relationship between state, society and psychotherapy.

Heretofore Mary has facilitated the exploration of these topics in person but is now developing this forum on an online platform. If you are interested in becoming involved in these forthright and dynamic exchanges phone Mary to learn more: 086-8545407 Monday to Friday, between 10am and 3pm.
