Apologies to recent visitors for the tumbleweed effect here at PCAyorks. I won't bore you with the reasons for the neglect over the last couple of months.
I have a few things I want to let you all know about, so without further ado here's a round-up of some events that are coming up which may be of interest:
-----
NORTHERN PRACTITIONERS NETWORK MEETING
A one day event at Hinsley Hall, Headingley, Leeds LS6 2BX
www.hinsley-hall.co.uk
on Saturday 17th July 2010, 9am - 5pm
Network Meeting for practitioners involved in working with domestic violence/abuse, either with programmes for ‘perpetrators’ or with support services for victims, but can be a ‘taster’, or an opportunity for those who find the national events too far, too big or too expensive.
It will be a day of: networking, sharing ideas, small-scale workshops (led by us all), giving and receiving support, and generally helping to recharge batteries. Most of the workshop ideas will be decided at the opening session, but if you have requests, ideas or offers of workshops, we’d like to hear them in advance. All this for the cost of £35 per person for the day, which includes teas and coffees and a delicious lunch.

For further details, contact Bernard Mooney, T: 020 8504 3675.
Launde Abbey is an Elizabethan manor house, set in a partly wooded valley among the rolling hills of Leicestershire. It has gardens of several acres, and is a place of tranquility. It is the site of an Augustinian priory founded in 1119.
PCAN (established over 30 years ago) has met here for more than 20 years.
See the website for more details of how to get there.
“In a group where control is shared by all… where every person is empowered, a new type of community becomes possible, an organic kind of flow… if we can find even one partial truth about the processes by which… people live together…. Without destroying one another… can live together with a caring concern for the full development for each person… can live together in the richness of diversity, instead of the sterility of conformity, then we may have found a truth with many, many implications”
[Carl Rogers, On Personal Power, 1978]

PCA Encounter Group in Kendal
Encounter Group in Kendal
Friday 9 April (7.30pm) to Sunday 11 April (4pm)
Facilitated by Will Stillwell from the La Jolla Program in California.
About the Encounter and the person centred approach
An Encounter Group provides an opportunity for people to experience a temporary Person-Centred Community. Such gatherings can be facilitated or have no formal structure except for conditions required by the venue. There is a commitment to creating an environment of the Core Conditions: where individuals are accepted and valued, where we each strive for empathy and authenticity. Since there is no-one "directing", each member of the group is able to take personal responsibility. It is an opportunity for self-exploration of, for example, your relationship with personal power. The gatherings can be challenging, exciting and deeply moving.
Reflecting on his experiences in both large and small community groups, Carl Rogers wrote: "I realise that of all the ventures in which I have ever been involved, this was the most thoroughly person-centred".
* Group numbers are between 10 and 25.
* The cost is £95 (there may be reduced fee places available, on request) for the facilitation and administration fee. Food and accommodation is not included.
* This group requires payment in advance for each booking.
* No food is provided except a limited variety of coffee, tea and biscuits. Please state special requirements. There are places to eat nearby.
* We include your contact details on a participant list, unless you ask us not to.
* Each gathering will determine its own confidentiality with regard to sharing of personal information, photographs from the event etc.
* Our meetings are unstructured, taking encounter form.
* The gatherings can be exciting, energising and risky. This offers a rare opportunity to experience an undirected temporary community. The facilitator has some responsibility for ensuring that arrangements go smoothly.
* We ask each for each person to be responsible for her/himself. We also ask each member of the community to contribute as far as they are able towards the 'duty of care'.
La Jolla Program
Will Stillwell is facilitating the 8 day Program in the south of England and has agreed to facilitate an Encounter Group in Kendal. He knew Carl Rogers. La Jolla Program uses a method of facilitating human potential and interpersonal effectiveness that grew out of client-centred therapy and known today as the person-centred approach. To help someone else “grow as a person” is no easier than to “grow oneself as a person.” But it can be done, and we have some hope – based on over 40 years of observation and practice – that it may be guided and encouraged by what one learns at the La Jolla Program. Take this weekend for yourself! You may decide to do the 8 day La Jolla Program at a later date (Phone 01539 720647 for more information).
Many, many people tell us this experience is still extremely useful, many years later. You can think of the Encounter Group as part of your journey of self discovery and professional advancement. You will learn methods for being effective in your associations with other people both personally and professionally. You will probably interact with people who bring different customs, thoughts, values and aspirations to the program. You may become a more effective listener. You may increase your acceptance of others and yourself. You will learn more about yourself at levels that are invigorating and may be surprising.

For many of you Brian Thorne and Dave Mearns will need no introduction. As inspirational pioneers of the person centred counselling approach in Britain, Europe and beyond and prolific authors and co-authors of the best seller ‘Person Centred Counselling in action’ (3rd edition 2007) their reputation as practitioners, teachers, trainers and writers is of the highest merit and regard in the field of counselling and psychotherapy.
At present the possible flavour for this day event at this developmental stage is ‘where are they now?’ an exploration and reflection on how very different paths and core experiences of faith and atheism can lead to a similar deep valuing of humanity and an inclination to be particularly 'present' in working with others. (Full details of the day to follow in due course.)

Counselling & Psychotherapy Regulation - Event
Viewpoints on Counselling and Psychotherapy Regulation

University House, University of Leeds
Cost: £65/£50
Jonathan Coe
Witness
Nick Totton
Alliance for Counselling and Psychotherapy
The essential issue that will be debated and discussed during the day is what form of accountability is most appropriate for the profession. Is regulation by the government-appointed HPC the best way? Or should we regulate ourselves and, if so, by what means? Is the situation of counselling and psychotherapy broken, and if so how should it be fixed? Stimulated by two speakers with very different approaches to the issues, participants will be invited to debate the issue themselves with the help of various small and large group structures, including Cafe Conversation.

Being our ages
A residential weekend encounter for women at Northern College, Barnsley
Facilitated by Gillian Proctor and Linda Smith
Friday 6pm, 26 March 2010 to Sunday 4pm, 28 March 2010
Cost: £245.
An opportunity for women to spend time with other women talking about what age means for us. We are hoping this will be an experience not only for therapists, but for all women.
How do messages given to us affect us?
“You'll understand when you're older”
“You don't look your age”
“You can't wear that at your age”
Gillian Proctor: I have just celebrated my 40th birthday. This age felt like a watershed in terms of reproductive potential and no longer being able to delude myself that others see me as “young”.
Linda Smith: In the year 2010, I will be able to say, “Next year I will be 60.” I'm shocked in disbelief. I cannot relate to this age. Nothing in the world helps me to identify myself with being 60.

Understanding and Supporting Self-Injury
With Eleanor Longden
Thursday 28 and Friday 29 January 2010
Cost: Individuals £140, Funded places £170.
Self-injury is a purposeful act of coping and self-help in which emotional pain is externalised and dealt with in a more visible way. However, this very visibility means self-injury is often treated with mistrust and fear. This session will explore why people self-injure and how self-injury is related to life events, as well as how mental health workers can engage in an open, supportive and empathic relationship with someone who self-injures. Guidance will also be provided around the concept of harm minimisation and safer self-injury.
'Mistakes' in Psychotherapy
With Colin Lago and David Rose
Wednesday 17 February 2010
Cost: Individuals £70, Funded places £90.
This was a frequently used phrase within our profession in the 70’s and 80’s. It reflected a philosophic view, current at that time that mistakes were inevitable, were to be learned from and reflected upon, and proved oftentimes to be productive within therapy.
We contend that in this current climate, there is a much more rigid, fearful attitude within the profession towards ‘mistakes’ that we might make, as counsellors and psychotherapists. We may be more anxious now about telling our supervisors about them or fear official complaints being made against us by our clients.
A day of Dialogue: Person-Centred Therapies and Cognitive Behavioural Therapies
With Joe Curran and Linda Smith
Wednesday 24 February 2010
Cost: Individuals £70, Funded places £90.
This day is an opportunity to experience contemporary understanding and advances with both Person-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, through experiential engagement. We have a commitment to critical dialogue and subjective experiencing and the process is often lively and enjoyable. This may be a chance to discover, within the day, if the Postgraduate certificate course beginning in March 2010 is one you might find useful.
The Tyranny of Person-Centredness
With Leah Davidson, Suzanne Keys, Gillian Proctor, Clare Raido and Linda Smith
Friday 5 March 2010
Cost: £95.
‘That’s not person-centred’.
‘We’re all person-centred – I put the client first’.
‘You can’t be angry/judgemental/challenging/ask a question if you’re person-centred’.
Ever heard these in yourself or from others?
The Intimacy of Authenticity
With Gillian Proctor and Linda Smith
Friday 12 March 2010
Cost: Individuals £70, Funded places £90
Where is your power?
What about ethics?
Where is your sexuality?
What about risk of authenticity?
Where is self-care?
What about non-defensive practice?
What is real/authentic?
Also taking place on Saturday 20 March in Edinburgh (http://www.person-person.co.uk)
and Saturday 12 June in Brighton (http://www.brightonbapca.co.uk/Workshops.php)
Encounter
With Clare Raido and Linda Smith
Saturday 13 and Sunday 14 March 2010
Cost: Individuals £140, Funded places £170
Antony Gormley says: ‘our place is in the consciousness of another’.
Jacques Lacan identifies: ‘a bridge to self-experience, the change between one and the other – to encounter.’
Peter Schmid asks: ‘Who are you?’
Carl Rogers writes: ‘each of whom is endeavouring to the best of his ability, to be himself in the relationship.’
Person-Centred Expressive Therapy
Creative Expression and Connection through the Arts
With Tess Sturrock and Fiona Strodder
Saturday 17 and Sunday 18 April 2010
Cost: Individuals £140, Funded places £170
In a world of busyness, dis-ease and disconnection:
How can we feel good in our own bodies?
How can we nurture a sense of belonging?
How can we feel connected to our environment?
How can we experience a real sense of relationship?
Making Sense of Voices: Recovery and Discovery
With Eleanor Longden
Saturday 12 and Sunday 13 June 2010
Cost: Individuals £140, Funded places £170
Hearing voices is a deeply meaningful experience, even if these meanings are painful and difficult to face. However, while attempts to eradicate voices are considered a 'cure response' by conventional mental health services, understanding, accepting and integrating the emotional and personal significance of one's voices is the recovery response. This two-day session will explore how practitioners can support clients to make sense of their voices, recover their well-being and in doing so promote practical healing and emotional growth. Particular attention will be given to ways of working with powerful and controlling voices.
Power in Therapy and Supervision
With Colin Lago and Gillian Proctor
Friday 25 and Saturday 26 June 2010
Cost: Individuals £140, Funded places £170
‘When we enter into therapy we give enormous power to the therapist because we want to see that person as someone who can take our pain away. Such power can be abused’. (Dorothy Rowe, 2002).

With Colin Lago and David Rose
Wednesday 17 February 2010
Cost: Individuals £70, Funded places £90.
This was a frequently used phrase within our profession in the 70’s and 80’s. It reflected a philosophic view, current at that time that mistakes were inevitable, were to be learned from and reflected upon, and proved oftentimes to be productive within therapy.
We contend that in this current climate, there is a much more rigid, fearful attitude within the profession towards ‘mistakes’ that we might make, as counsellors and psychotherapists. We may be more anxious now about telling our supervisors about them or fear official complaints being made against us by our clients.

Making Sense of Voices: Recovery and Discovery
With Eleanor Longden
Saturday 12 and Sunday 13 June 2010
Cost: Individuals £140, Funded places £170
Hearing voices is a deeply meaningful experience, even if these meanings are painful and difficult to face. However, while attempts to eradicate voices are considered a 'cure response' by conventional mental health services, understanding, accepting and integrating the emotional and personal significance of one's voices is the recovery response. This two-day session will explore how practitioners can support clients to make sense of their voices, recover their well-being and in doing so promote practical healing and emotional growth. Particular attention will be given to ways of working with powerful and controlling voices.
